Files in folder don't stay alphabetic when working with them
I have Office 2007 Word and every time I open a file to work on it when I save and close it it has gone to the end of a long list of files. Let me see if I can explain this. I work making ebooks and I create them in RTF format in Word chapter by chapter then combine them all and convert to epub format using another program. So I have a folder with the book title and inside that is a lot of chapter files titled like this:
Book Title - Chapter 01, Book Title - Chapter 02, Book Title - Chapter 03, Book Title - Chapter 04, etc.
As an example here I'm only going to use those four files. If I open and work on Book Title - Chapter Two, save, and close it the Windows Explorer window will now have the files as Book Title - Chapter 01, Book Title - Chapter 03, Book Title - Chapter 04, and Book Title - Chapter 02.
I have all of my folders set to sort by Name, Ascending and if I open Windows Explorer that's how they all show up. But if I so much as open a file, click Enter, then backspace, save it, close it, the file has moved to the very end of the file listing. I need the dang things to stay put so it's easier to find the chapter I'm going to be working with next. Does anyone know how to make this happen? I'd really appreciate some help. Normally the current file I've been working with is highlighted so I can just go to the next one but if I have to use F5 to get them back in order the highlighting is gone.
I have included 2 attachments showing what I mean. In the first one I have just opened the containing file. The second one shows the Explorer window after I have opened a file, worked on it, Saved, and closed it.
