Thanks Apple has been trying for weeks to fix this and it even went to a second level engineer. You must be a third level at least !

Is there any way to sort with the Folders at the Top?

Thanks for your help

Ahhh Brett u are my dude! Thanks man I’ve been so frustrated about this. I was avoiding doing a search because I’m so stubborn and never in a million years did I think something so simple would be left out of Finder’s options.

Great tip! I had struggled with this problem for so long without finding a solution that I was convinced that I should just chalk it up to another negative regarding Lion. But thanks to you, now I can sort in list view by clicking on the column headings. Just like in the good old (pre-Lion) days.

In order to sort items by Kind in Column View.

thankyou
this was driving me nuts.
i even bought forklift to see things in alphanumeric order again.

so a gift of thanks

another nuisance of osx is it can’t without severe pain or other utilities print out a list of files as shown in finder.
simply drag the file to a firefox window (busy or not)

Wow! That is messed up. I just got a massive headache trying to figure this one out. The strange thing is that I had it “sortable” and all of the sudden I lost it.

Thank you,

Does anyone know how to “lock” in a view option to a individual folder without the view option on the parent folder changing also? For example I have a Document Folder, inside that Personal Folder, inside that Receipts 2013 Folder, inside that are all my receipts that have been named. I would like the Receipts 2013 to be sorted by (date created) when I open it not by name but when I change the View option it changes everything thats in the Document Folder and the Personal Folder as well. Can I set a rule that will only set view options for one folder?

[[p.s Should have added … I have a suspicion that there’s some sort of Command sequence that’s active while a sheet is frontmost that changes the view parameters of the sheet.]]

Wow! Yikes! Fixed a problem that’s been nagging me for a month. In my case sheet (for example, Save As …) showed items in my home directory in reverse alphabetical order (Z-A), but viewing the same directory in the Finder had them in normal order (A-Z). I recall that the problem started when I accidentally hit two keys instead of one while a Save sheet was open – perhaps Shift-Return instead of the intended Return, or maybe Option or even Control. In any event, the Z-A order sheet list stuck for a month even with the Finder’s view A-Z. Messing with Finder View didn’t help, deleting .DStore didn’t help. I’m still not clear on the mechanism or the impli9cations, but many thanks for making the post and solving the immediate problem.

Thank you for this suggestion, but unfortunately I still have a problem. Part of the list will sort alphabetically, while a few folders just randomly insert themselves where they wish. And they are consistent about it. Beyond the menu sorting, is there anything else that could cause this? The occasional glass of wine helps, but it sure would be better to figure this out. Even the numbers get jumbled. Thoughts? Thank you.

for example – listed by name/none
Dog
Christmas
blank
backup
welcome
photo
parents
