    How to set default Sort Order for files


    Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to automatically set by default, the View/Sort Order. What I mean is, I don't want to keep opening up my file browser (Explorer), clicking on Name, then Type to sort them. Is there a way to have this automatically so it by default? I know previous versions of Windows you could do this.

    Hi, mine 'sticks' per folder. For example, if I set one to view organised by type, next time I open it, it's organised by type, whilst simultaneously, I might have set one to be organised by size, and next time I open that, it's organised by size.

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    Sometimes mine don't say that way. I have to keep clicking on Name or Type again. This happens on all Windows 10 PC's in the house..All using either Home or Pro 64 Bit

    Windows has a long-standing reputation for inconsistency in such details, and differences for some people.

    Whilst I've not tried it, you could try:
