Thank God, I finally found a fix for this problem. This is a fix for Windows wherein your files will not sort by name automatically anymore. Whenever you import, save, or whatever, your files will not be sorted alphabetically. Is this driving you absolutely crazy? It drove me insane for months. Today I have the cure, direct from Microsoft. You must perform these instructions EXACTLY as they are written. 1. Right-click START button, click EXPLORE, and then click drive C. 2. On the VIEW menu, click DETAILS. 3. Click the NAME column to sort items by name, press and hold down the CTRL key, and then quit Windows Explorer by clicking the X (close button) in the upper-right corner of the screen (do NOT exit via the FILE menu). 4. Release the CTRL key. 5. Restart your computer. Here is the link to the Microsoft article just in case: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q229070
