Apply Sort Order to ALL Folders ???

For ages and ages, without me giving it a thought, no matter which folder I looked in, the contents were always listed in alphabetical/numerical order; 1, 2, 3 - A, B, C, etc; then, a couple months ago, for reasons unbeknownst to me, when I open a folder, the contents are all mixed up, with no rhyme nor reason as to their sort order.

I have figured out that I can right-click an empty space and select a sort order, but only for that particular folder.

Surely there is some way that I can make ALL folders comply to an alpha-numeric sort order in one fell swoop.

Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.

Hello BuckSkin, :)

Sure, you could apply the folder view to either all folders or those using the same folder template.

Thanks so much; you have saved me many frustrations !
