This procedure usually corrects the sorting problem Jeff. There's also a link below 
regarding folder views.

Open Windows Explorer and then click the C: drive in the left pane. 
Next click 'View' from the Toolbar and then click 'Details' in the menu. Next in 
the right pane, click the 'Name' tab at the top of the name listings. This will arrange 
the list by 'Name'. Try this several times to be sure the order listing reverses. 
When you have the order list set A-Z, hold the 'CTRL' key and click the 'X' in the 
upper right corner of Explorer to close it. Now release the 'CTRL' key and reboot 
your system. Be very sure to hold the 'CTRL' key down until explorer has closed!
