I tend to view files as a list sorted most recent at the top. It's useful since odds are I'm going to be editing only recent documents or viewing recently added documents.<BR/><BR/>The issue is when a new file is created/edited while the directory is open it's still added to the bottom, instead of triggering a resort to place it on the top. In other words, it gets added to the worse possible place for it. <BR/><BR/>Bad, bad Windows!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338174527262061848.post-86179935696959895202007-09-27T14:01:00.000-07:002007-09-27T14:01:00.000-07:00Roger, thanks for the suggestions.
