    One of my drives has suddenly changed showing folders from ascend to descend (Z to A). I simply have forgotten how to correct this. Help appreciated, thanks.

    Found this with a Google search:
    In My computer of Windows Explorer, to change what field the items are
    sorted on, click the header of the field you want to sort on. To
    reverse the sort from ascending to descending, or vice versa, click
    the header again.
    So in your case, since you are already sorting on Name, just click the
    Name header a single time.

    Hope this is what you need Bobby, with thanks to Ken Blake. ;) Neil.

    Thanks for your response, unfortunately I am unable to follow. If my memory serves me, clicking Organise showed ascend/descend, clicking the one required then arranged files in alphabetic order. Slowly but truly, my computer knowledge is being blocked - old age is anything but kind.

    On the right side of Windows Explorer - each column should have a heading like:

    Name - Date - Size - Date Modified

    If you click on any of the headings it will reverse sort the column.

    I finally remembered how to change the format.

    Click computer icon>Select drive to change>right click on a clear space>Click sort by>Choose from opened list and click on either Ascend or Descend>Close.
