BiTRiP Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 In the Finder, i have sorted everything by name. But folder AND files are on alphabetic order then. In windows you first have all folders sorted by name and under those folders the files, also sorted by name. Is such view also possible in OSX? I think files and folders mixed is not very clear, allthough they sorted by name. What's the solution?

gwprod12 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Folders always come before Files when sorted by name in Windows. I dont know why. I dont think you can do that in the finder though.

Rammjet Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 One partial solution is to sort them by "kind", however this will also group similar types of documents together. Kind is on the far right or else turn it on by going to the View menu -> Show View Options Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19974-sorted-finder-structure/#findComment-131339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
belgrano Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 If I remember correctly, you have such an option (to sort alphabetically the files and folders or to have the folders first) in OnyX.

U.C. Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Use pathfinder. It is a total finder replacement and is hundred times better. It sorts folders first too. My only gripe is that its PPC.

LedY Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Pathfinder 4.1 which was released in April is UB so go pick up a copy and try it. I think I saw 4.1.1 posted on the demon today also if you're into that kind of stuff Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/19974-sorted-finder-structure/#findComment-131476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
