I use Windows 10 as well as Windows 7. Should not matter. How do I alphabetize the contents of a folder I open in File Explorer?

Open the folder or library that you want to sort in the File Explorer. Go to View on the top and expand the View ribbon by double clicking on it (or ctrl+F1) Click Sort by, and then select Name, then click Ascending. I also like to use the details view myself, hope that helps! Author Replies Viewing 1 reply thread You must be a Komando Community member to reply to this post. Sign up or log in.
