Sort order for "Open"/"Save" Dialog Boxes
Posted by rich@bittar.org on May 15th, 2006


I've seen many a post on how to "reset" the sort order on open/save as
dialog boxes. When I click on the "File"->"Open" or "File"->"Save As",
I would like the view to be "Details" and the sort to be "Date
(Descending)". I've tried a few things from "kelly's korner", but
haven't had much luck. Thanks for the help, it's been a while since
I've done a post !!

[[Do you find yourself constantly changing to details view, then resizing
the columns to see the full file name? File-Ex can do this automatically. ]]

Set the order you wish to see using Windows Explorer, hold Ctrl and press
the Close button on the window. The sorting order for the Open/Save dialog
should be changed :-)
