    Any way to sort folder contents alphabetically?


    This isn't such a big deal but I was just curious, does Windows 7 have any way to sort folder contents in true alphabetical order, like older versions of Windows used to?

    So that it sorts files like this:

    1.txt
    2000.txt
    30.txt
    4.txt

    When viewing a folder with multiple folders inside, click on "View" then around 3/4 the way down the list click "sort by" and then choose from there!
    I'm not sure i 100% understood what you meant but i thought i'd try anyway!

    Hello Marty,

    You might see if enabling numerical sorting may be what you are after.

    Hope this helps, :)
