As I can see this only switch between different views of the file names Details, List, Tiles, Content etc.

This will not change the sorting of the file names. Somebody with other suggestions? Thursday, June 25, AM. The Libraries are a new feature for quick access. Try that.

Does that help? This is what is known as "intuitive filename sorting", as opposed to literal. But I could not find anything. Thank you for the knowledge. It should be easier than this or the code writers can only work with literal sorting.

The default order for those files would be abc1, abc4, abc8, abc and abc The reason behind this is that Windows XP considers the numbers to be just that which means that is a larger number than 4 or 8.

The logical way of sorting files would be in my opinion to see numerals in those filenames as individual characters as well.

This would sort the file names in a natural way like shown above. Windows has this default sort order and it is possible to enable it in Windows XP as well. The setting can be edited as usual in the Windows Registry.

Open the Registry editor by pressing Windows and R at the same time. This opens the run box of the system. Type regedit and tap on the enter key afterwards. If you do, accept it. Name the new key NoStrCmpLogical.

Double-click the key afterwards and changes its value to 1. This changes the default sort order to the Windows way. If you want to go back to the XP way of sorting files and folders in Windows explorer change it to 0 or delete the key.

I'm having the same problem but now have the latest Windows 10 anniversary edition bang up to date Per the earlier reply, File Explorer View options do not apply to Search-ms files so resetting them does not help. Has your soft team managed to find a way to fix it, or at least suggest a technique to fixing it?

I've managed to eliminate almost all other issues with W10 I had, but this one is the most persistent. I've had this problem ever since upgrading from W8.

Any ideas what could be wrong? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit.
