How can I sort my files by name, but the content by date?

I am on Windows 7 and trying to sort my files in the order of name and the contents of each folder in date order, but if I change IT automatically changes them both?  How to do this?

You can not in Vista - that option is not available.  The following items can help you with the setting folder models and change the sort order to some degree Vista allows:

Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to reset the Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

I hope this helps in your situation.

Good luck!

    How can I sort my artists by name in itunes?

    Mark,

    iTunes has absolutely no concept of "last name."  It is simply a lexical sort on the text in the field of the Album.

    If you want to leave the name of the artist he is, but ignore it for sorting, you can enter data in the field artist sorting, which is on the tab of sort for each song.  Use the format "Lastname, Firstname" to get the kind you want.

  • How can I sort MP3 files in folders by Genre?

    I transferred a lot of old time radio programs in the Sansa View. Each is in a different folder... but I can't see them in the view of some sort with the exception of a long list of music and radio programs mixed together.  I tried to update the files in the music folder and seeing that he had a 'Old Time Radio' category in the music sorter, I created a folder named Old Time Radio and moved them in it - but it does not help.

    I tried to organize them in Windows Media Player, but the attempt reminded me once again that WMP is the single most useless program ever created - nothing works like it shoud and each function is different from any other Windows program, I've never used.  I can't even create a playlist in it.

    Is it possible to set up these radio programs so that when I select music and watch Genres - Old Time Radio is down there, but I don't have the slightest idea how to see these programs.

    Thank you...

  • How can I download multiple files or documents in the same folder of destination without redirecting every time?

    I often download 20 or if another company system files and save them in the same folder on my hard drive. Is there a way to "fix" the destination for files or documents folder when I download?

    Hi BruceBear,

    When you download files, Windows usually saves in the downloads folder, which is located under your user name in the users folder on the drive where Windows is installed (for example C:\Documents and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Mes Documents\Downloads).

    When you save the file, you can choose to save it in a different folder. By default, some file types are saved in different folders. For example, if you right-click on an image on a Web page and then choose Save picture as on the menu, the image will be saved in the default photos folder.

    You cannot specify a particular folder to be the destination for downloads.

  • How can I sort folders of photo album of the date of the pictures inside of them?

    So, in my pictures folder, I have several files. Each file is an album.

    I want to sort the pictures folder, so each album folder is by order of date taken. However, that appears not to be possible that windows considers that the date of the album, FOLDER, not the content it contains.
    Is there a way to make Windows organize my folders in album by the date of the photos in their midst? Or should I just manually edit the files?
