Does anyone know how to keep (maintain) the files in alphabetical order, they show up from Z to A.

I can sort the files from A to Z but once you close the window everything reverts back from Z to A order. Frustrating to say the least.

If I use the Adobe dialog all files are listed from A to Z.

People say this is a Windows thing if so is there a switch or settings hidden somwhere to correct this?

Thanx in advance.

check this out oz:

synopsis:

As it turns out, you can force Windows to remember the file listing settings. I apparently did this accidentally at some point. Here’s what you do: go into Windows Explorer and open a folder such as My Documents. Now choose View|Details. Along the top of the file listing area, you see Name, Type, Size, Modified. If you click any one of these, it will change how your files are sorted in the list. For example, you click Modified to sort your files by the date they were modified.

Now…here’s the part that made Windows save this sorting information everywhere. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the X in the upper right-hand corner of the Window to close it. Now whenever you run a Windows application that uses the File Open, Save, or Save As dialog boxes, the files are listed in Date Modified order rather than Alphabetically.

Dave, you just saved my sanity this is amazing, I would buy you dinner and a beer if I could.

Using CS2 as you know involves the Ctrl key so this is how it must have happened in the first place.

Thanks for reading my post and responding, having a forum is great as it helps everyone!

Thanks Again!
