Windows 10: wrong sorting in explorer

Sorting in explorer is wrongAnyone can solve it?Thank you

:)

 

Sorting with File Explorer.

I tried the method that was complicated (3rd option) but fell over in second step as I could not find any "apply to folder button"'.

However, the simple put *.* in search bar, then sort results windows by date does the trick. It is slightly cumbersome as I have to do that each time I am selecting files (to upload to sharepoint) but a lot less hassle than I was having to scroll up and down between sorted file block and sorted folder block.

Many thanks.

Sorting with File Explorer.

Hi,
Third answer here looks interesting:
Windows Explorer sorts files and folders separately - Super User

There are ways to do this with XYplorer
e.g.
File folder sorting order... - XYplorer Beta Club

I seem to recall a thread on this topic here before...

List alphabetically in Windows Explorer, with folders mixed with files? - Super User

 

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.
