re: Windows File Sorting is Very Annoying Monday, November 9, 2009 at 1:34 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MartinM (7549 messages posted) You are wishing for something which doesn't exist. The sorting functionality is coded in the executable for explorer. Its hard enough hacking that just to change the title of the start button (and heaven knows why anyone would want to spend effort doing that !) and your proposition is a significant re-write, so contravenes the EULA as well as being extremely hard. The sort order is controllable to an extent - read this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319827 - but that's truly all you can do. Why not take a look at alternatives to Windows Explorer ? There are lots of them out there, some very good.
