Hi,<br />

<blockquote>
I assume you are working with Windows File Explorer, and viewing the Downloads folder?
</blockquote>
Correct.<br />

<blockquote>
If so, you should just be able to click on the &quot;Date modified&quot; column header to set that as the sort order. &nbsp;Clicking it once will give ascending order, twice should give you descending order,
</blockquote>
Well the problem is that not always does it behave that way...at the moment it is (just because I need it the other way now...), perhaps something is wrong with my pc (Win7 Pro), how do I check that out?<br />
Thanks,<br />

Depending on how many files you have in your Downloads folder it can take a number of seconds for Windows to resort and update the display, make sure you are waiting long enough.<br />

In my experience, when I just open the downloads folder it takes a while to sort it. However, when I designate a file type, it sorts immediately and it should on any reasonable windows machine.

Check the date properties of your downloaded files. Some downloads from filelocker hosts retain the date they we created not the download date when they are completed on your PC. So will be much further down the file list than you expect.

Hi Experts,<br />
How can I get to see the latest file I downloaded?<br />
When I sort by date modified, it displays all folders first and after that many files, not necessary in order...<br />
Thanks

IT Administration is the processes and best practices for programming and development, and incorporates methodologies for managing activities and projects. Common methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid application development, extreme programming and various types of agile methodology. The life-cycle "model" is a more general term for a category of methodologies, and a software development "process" a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization.

IT Administration

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
