    How explorer sorts filenames.


    Is it possible to make windows filemanager explorer sort filenames in a way so it doesn't include names with THE under T?

    Hello Premier69,

    The only way that I know of is to not have The at the beginning of the file name. You might use something like file name, the or just file name instead for the file name to help sort it the way you are wanting.

    Hope this helps,
