Windows 10: Random folders (existing and new) appear in the Group By: Date Modified view

I've done the "Apply to Folders" fix from a folder that wasn't grouped by date but it didn't stick. Random folders would appear in that view inconsistently.

Thank you in advance

Windows 10 20H2 Pro 64-bit (though it's been that way for awhile now)

how can i add and fix to sort ( date modified ) by default

Hi,

Apologies for that please follow the below for setting Date Modified to appear in folders as default.

On your desktop, click the Windows Explorer icon to launch it or press Windows key + E.

Navigate to any folder of your choice whose files you want to degroup.

Click “View” at the top left to access the View tab.

In the View tab in the Current View group, click the Group By dropdown arrow to reveal a list of selectable attributes.

Select “Date Modified” from the list.

Step 2:

Click on View in Explorer ribbon > Options > Change folder and search options to bring up the Folder Options properties.

Step 3:

Switch to the View tab.

Step 4:

Click Apply to Folders button, followed by Yes.

Step 5:

Click Apply > OK.

Let me know the status after performing the above.

Regards

Downloads Folder - Grouping by Date Modified

Thanks for answering so quickly. Unfortunately, this did not help. It changed the view in File Explorer, which I had already done by changing the Grouping to 'none'. When I followed the steps you mentioned, the view in Explorer went back to grouping
by date modified, and I had to change it back to grouping by 'none' again. The problem I am having is when saving a file. In File Explorer, it groups alphabetically, in Save As, it groups by date modified. I want it to group alphabetically. This is File
Explorer ...





As you can see, it groups alphabetically. Then there is Save As ...





Both are grouped differently. I can't see how to change this.
