    Explorer - List Files First in Folder Than SubFolders


    This applies to Windows Explorer.
    Windows appears to list Folders First than Files,
    If one has a lot of SubFolders, the Files at the end, sometimes get overlooked.
    I would like for the files to be listed first, then SubFolders >> if Possible

    Thanks

    1) Sort by Date Modified (descending)

    2) Hold the Shift button, then click the Name column heading.

    I never knew you can have the folders listed after the files. That's new to me.
    Good to know. Thanks.

    Is there any way to do that? From the searchable Tutorial section you might try

    Set Default Folder View for all Folders in Windows 10

    - and note Option 2.
