Column Sort by Type: Folders listed at top?

Post by ellae »

Hi, sorry if this topic was covered, but I couldn't find anything after searching.

Doing sort by extension, folders are given priority at the top.

Doing sort by type, folders are sorted according to their type (folder) within other files.

Is there a way to do sort by type, but have folders listed at the top regardless of the other file types in the folder?  Essentially I want to duplicate the Windows Explorer behavior (at least in XP).

Thanks a lot!

But it does (unless you want to think a zip-file is a folder)

I assume you have set:
Tools | Options ... | Window | Folders sorted [separately]

Thanks, that did the trick!  For some reason I missed that option in the dialogue box.
