Sort the files/folder per your wish, and then press the CTRL key, and close the Window (using the [X] button at the top)<br />

Hi experts,<br />
This is a little very annoying bug for me.<br />
Each time I get the window to open a file (in all applications) it starts with a 'list' view with all the filenames with no order apparently. Then when I switch to 'details' view it is always ordered by size descending.<br />
I don't know how this started a few weeks ago.<br />
Any suggestion to control it??<br />
Best regards.

Hi experts,

Why is it always ordered by size descending ??

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
