Subject: RE: Tech: Windows again
I wondered why I couldn't post, I was pipped at the................

The best I can suggest is to have the Date Created column visible and sort by clicking the right hand triangle on the right of that column, it will appear.

To add the date date created column, right click in the column headers and choose the Date Created option.

the problem I find is that it depends on the software you have used to create the file (not all s/w is Created (pun intended) equal). And worse depending on the version of Windows it may be the Date Modified that carries that meaning. But have a go and see what the effect is.

If the folder/files are in a USB device - and worse - if they have jpg or mp3 etc Windows may be very helpful and ignore you preferences and offer its own. You then have to re-do the above wheeze.

if it is that important consider free Portable Apps from http://portableapps.com/ like FreeCommanderPortable - I keep all mine on a USB stick so I can use them anywhere.
