  2. sort files numerically withi a folder

    Hi there...search as I may, I am unable to find solution to not being able to sort files numerically within a folder. I place the files (PDF) in folder for storage from an accounting software. I would like them to be sorted numerically, they end up in the
    column in disorder. Have gone to "view", sort by, and see no numerical tab. How do I have files sorted numerically, automatically, as they are placed in the folder?

    Thanks Scott...

  3. sort files numerically withi a folder

    Hi folks,

    I am unable to sort numerically within Outlook folders (and subfolders). Accessing the alpha sort only works for single digits (ie 1-9). It is unable to sort through double digits and beyond so it reads 10, 11, 12 as 1.

    Any workarounds?

    Cynthia

    sort folders and files in explorer

    Hi Greg,

    You can filter the folders and files in File Explorer using the Sort by option. To best address your concern, we need you to answer the following questions:

    • What do you mean when you mentioned “files sorted by latest first”?
    • You mentioned that you were able to perform it before, which Windows version were you using that time?
    • Can you provide us a detailed description of what you would like to perform?

    In the meantime, you can try the following steps:

    • Go to File Explorer.
    • Click the Drive where the files and folders are saved.
    • Under Current view, click Sort by.
    • Select Name if you would like to sort it alphabetically. Choose
      Date modified or Date created if you wanted to sort it by date. Refer to the image below.

    Please take note that you can’t apply two filters at a time.

    Looking forward for your response.
