Vista Automatically Alphabetizes Files, How do you Turn Off?

by vifirebird Jul 31, 2008 1:11PM PDT

I'm trying to organize my music files into one folder in the file browser for Vista. However, whenever I put them in a certain order, they are automatically alphebetized as soon as I close and open the folder again. Is it possible to turn this feature off. If so, how?

That's called "Explorer"

Explorer is hard coded to sort on any of the columns you choose. There is no "Unsorted" view.
