Windows 10: Why is the sorting of files by date not working right?

In two File Explorer windows, with the View set exactly the same: date, descending, one window shows the file s sorted correctly but the other does not! I cannot get the files to sort correctly in the one File Explorer Window. Why is this? See attached screenshot.

Sort by date added to folder

Hi there, thanks for your question.

In File Explorer, all sorting options can be viewed by following these steps:

- Open the folder and right click inside of it, not on a file.

- Go to Sort by > More.

This brings up a list of all possibilities of what to sort by. It doesn't look like there's an options for "date added to folder", but one of the other Date options may help, such as Date Created. You could create a copy of the file and move it in, so that
the date created matches the date added to the folder?

Please let me know if you need more information! Thanks!

 

Sort files AND folders by "Date Modified" in File Explorer

Hello,

Is there a way to sort folders and individual files by "Date Modified" together? Right now, when I sort by "Date Modified," folders are automatically put at the bottom below files, even if they have been modified more recently than a file. When I'm quickly
scanning a list, this is very distracting. How can I fix this?

 

Sorting Files by Date Created Not Working Properly

I've been having issues trying to sort my video files by date modified. Even though they are all supposed to be in a single order, they all seem to be put in random spots when the sorting method is set to 'Date'.

The culprit may be when I look at the files' properties, under Details > Origin, the date for 'Media created' seems to be some random date.

I've heard recommendations saying to run a System File Check, but it either didn't work for me or I did something wrong. Any other suggestions?
