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.

Text Files Register 0 Bytes even with 90K Characters, Cannot E-mail

Sometimes it's as simple of clicking the Name at the top of the column in Details view then click it again to get the list refreshed. Also usually works to close and open File Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the file. Keep in mind that a folder cannot contain 2 files of the exact same name, one has to be at least one character different. And possible to open a file in the program used to create it, see if there's actually anything in it. Also possible to open that program then File, Open and see it's listed.

Hi

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you let us know, are you trying to sort in files in Explorer or Photos app?

If you are sorting in explorer, follow the steps mentioned below.

1. Open the folder in which files are stored.
   
2. Right click on empty space of window.
   
3. Select Sort by and click on
   Type.
   

If you are trying to sort in Photos app by extension, we would suggest you to provide your feedback in
Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app
as there is no option available to sort by extension in the app. However you can sort by Modified, Newest, Oldest, and Alphabetical.

If you want to look only for the files with .jpg extension in photos app, you may type
*.jpg in the search bar.

Hope it helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking Yes or No.
