    File sorting - limited to one level now?


    In Vista, I was able to sort files by date created, highlight the files I want, then sort again by name, and all the files I selected previously would still be highlighted, but now they're in numerical order. Win 7 won't let me apply that second level of sorting. It's either name or date, but not both.

    I used this feature all the time, and it is sorely missed. Any ideas on how I can get around it? Thank you!

    Have you tried "Group By", "Arrange by" & "Sort By" function by accessing the menu (Hold Alt to choose "View")?

I am trying to figure out if it's possible to ignore the articles in a file name (i.e. A, An, The) for sorting purposes. More specifically, I want to organize my music folder and I want the folder for "The Beatles" to sort with the other letter "B" artists instead of with the "T" artists. I...
