Sorting Folders and Files, but Not Separating Folders FROM Files?
Hello, I’m using Windows 11 and have a question about sorting folders and files. Is there any way, either with Windows File Manager or any third-party utility, to sort folders and files by name, b...
1.Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder you want to sort.
2.In the ribbon, click on the "View" tab and check the box next to "Include subfolders" (if you haven't already).
3.Click on the "View" tab again and select "Sort by" from the dropdown menu.
4.In the "Sort by" dialog box, select "Name" from the dropdown menu.
5.Make sure the "Use folders" checkbox is unselected (this is key to not separating folders and files).
2.In the ribbon, click on the "View" tab and check the box next to "Include subfolders" (if you haven't already).
3.Click on the "View" tab again and select "Sort by" from the dropdown menu.
4.In the "Sort by" dialog box, select "Name" from the dropdown menu.
5.Make sure the "Use folders" checkbox is unselected (this is key to not separating folders and files).
This doesn't look at all like what's in my File Explorer Win 11. For example, I have separate Sort and View buttons in the ribbon. There is no Include Subfolders check box. There is no Sort By under the View button. Etc. So, I am quite confused.
I am in need of the same fix, but I also do not have a windows 11 that is described.
is there any other way to fix this?
