    changing the sort order for files and folders


    Don't know how you define these two ways of sorting, but I need to sort my files -not in this manner current >71090111But in this >10111790I presume hope! it's a simple registry tweak.

    How to get the list of all files in a folder sorted in the same order they are sorted in File Explorer when it opens this folder?

    When File Explorer opens a folder, it sorts all folders and files inside in an order according to the settings of that folder. How to get the list of all folders and files (or at least of files only) sorted in the same order? Not meaning just to look the list in the interface of File Explorer, it is an evident way. Meaning to get the list for further processing. For example, to a text file.

    Change the alphabetical order for sorting folders

    Hi y'all

    Is it possible to change the alphabetical order a folder is sorted?

    Currently it sorts like:

    A

    B

    C

    D etc.

    What I need is a way to change the order like:

    D

    A

    B

    C etc.

    If it isn't possible natively, could it be done by a custom desktop.ini file? Or would I need another file explorer, and if so, do any of you have an idea for a program that could do it?

    file/folder sort order

    win 10 file explorer sort order (by date) is always folders first.

    i prefer order by date, regardless of folder, shortcut or file...
    OR folders last, by date

    i think there is a date column select, then a secondary SHIFT column select... but.... i cant find it
