Can I group list view by folders then files (like in Windows)

I'm brand new to Mac (was a Windows user since 1993) and so now I'm starting over as a NOOB!
One thing that's driving me crazy is that I am used to viewing my list of files and folders with the folders grouped together alphabetically (or chronologically) and then the files grouped together alpha or chrono.
Can this be done in Mac; if so, how? I've been searching for an answer and have not found it.
Thanks!

welcome to Discussions!
you can sort files by type by opening a finder window and clicking View>Show View Options, clicking show "Kind", and clicking on it's icon in the right of the finder window. Items will be sorted alphabetically by kind, and within each kind alphabetically by name.
Good luck!

  • Can we set List View Lookup Threshold at site collection level ?

    Hello,
    Presently, we have requirement to set the List View Lookup Threshold  at Site Collection/Sub-Site level instead of web application level.
    Could you please let me know, are there any ways to set
    List View Lookup Threshold setting at Site Collection/Sub-Site level
    in SharePoint 2010 using Powershell/Object Model
    Also, it would be helpful if you colud let me know, upto what extent , we can drill down List View Lookup Threshold setting i.e. SubSite/List/Library-Folder.
    Thanks in advance !

    Hi Sagar,
    We cannot set list view threshold value at sitecollection/subsite level. It can only be set at web application level.
    However we can bypass the 5000 limit using PowerShell command by setting “Enable Throttling”= false for particular list.

    After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

    reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

  • How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

      How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) for Windows 8 is a relatively new product, which was introduced in December 2012.  Adobe Reader XI, X, or older is a completely separate product - a traditional desktop app with classic UI.  The desktop version has been available in the market for 20 years (!!) and it does not share any common components with Adobe Reader Touch.
    Adobe Reader Touch does not support page (view) rotation yet.
    For Windows 8, you can download and install Adobe Reader XI from the link below.

    For Windows RT, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer), instead.

    Thanks Miles4Ever!
    When you say converted, do you mean you got a dialogue box after double clicking saying the file needed to be converted?  Or some other kind of procedure.  thanks again.

  • On list view in folders, how do I click drag second group of files?

    Back in Snow Leopard and all previous systems, I was able to on list view in a folder be able to click and drag a set of files to select them, then by pressing command again, click drag on a second group of files I would like to select together and so forth. This was handy as I can select really quick on list view folders and files which I need. Obviously the files are listed alphabetically and I don't need to select them all, only groups of files eg. files which are all pdfs that are randomly spread out based on names, or mp3s which I want to move but not move the folders that are in the same folder. You get my drift.
    Now on Lion, I can only click drag first group of files, and then on second selection by pressing command, I cannot drag anymore files except for the first click of the file I select.
    Is this going to be like this for Lion or did Apple leave this out accidently? Is there a setting I can set back to previous style of group click/drag selection?
    This is a bit annoying as I would like to quickly group select a could of groups in a folder QUICKLY to drag to other folders or to simply trash them all in one go. Now I have to stop and start and it slows down my productivity when I have to clean my files on my computer.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have the same problem.
    I've made another post...
    Hoping this is a Bug and not a new feature...

  • Can't resize list view in 10.9

    While using list view in the finder, I can't resize the various categories (name, size, type, etc). This is very annoying, as my "name" category is expanded so wide you can't see any of the others! For some reason, it's impossible to double click between the categories to have it automatically resize, and you can't click and drag to resize. The double arrows just don't show up. Even more confusing, this only happens while looking at certain folders (desktop and documents), but other folders in the same view work fine. I've tried trashing finder preferences and that didn't solve the problem. How do I fix this? Thank you.

  • In iTunes can TV Show List view be collapsed?

    I have over a 1000 tv shows in iTunes and in List view each and every show for each and every season is shown for each TV Show. Does anyone know if that List view can just show the season or just the show?

    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • [SOLVED] A File Manager That Can Group Folders and Files like Fences

    I want to create a custom desktop environment in Arch Linux and I'm looking for a file manager that is similar to Windows Explorer in terms of features and functionality and can group files and folders into fences like Stardock Fences does for the desktop in Windows.
    If such a feature isn't available then I, at least, want to group both files and folders into individual groups based on custom parameters and not just Date or Size.
    Is there any File Manager in Linux that can fulfill my requirements? If not, is there any file manager which can be extended (by scripting or programming) easily to include the features that I'm looking for?

If you've ever seen the exploere.exe process die for any reason, you know what I mean. That's the reason it's able to utilize functionality like Fences. In order to get the same kind of functionality in Linux, you'd need a very similar setup. KDE + Konqueror are what come closest from my experience, since the Plasma interface actually has widgets built in that do what you want, but if you use KDE then you use KDE. Full stop. KDE is highly customizable, but only if you use its environment and parts.
    Nah. I don't wanna use KDE. I've heard that it's the most resource hungry DE out there.
    OK, maybe not something like fences in a file manager but I, at least, want to be able to group files AND folders (within a folder or a directory) under a single parameter and that parameter can be custom and not just pre defined like Date and Size.
    Huh. I'm down to Konquerer, like you suggested, and Dolphin. Can I use either as a stand alone file manager in a custom DE in Arch without using KDE?

  • List view for folders on a sparse image disk

    I have set up a sparse image on an external disk.  I cannot get the sparse image disk folders to default to "List View".  It always opens as "Icons" and I have to click on list view everytime.  Any ideas?

    Go to the Preferences under the small box at the upper-left:
    On the General pane, check the box to "Show list views for all media".

    If the site requires ActiveX and Java, then there is no way to run the site on an iPad (or any non-Windows device, for that matter, since ActiveX is a Microsoft-proprietary technology).  The only way to use that site from an iPad would be to take control of a Windows system from the iPad and actually use the Windows system to connect.

  • File disappears in finder on click, but i can see in list view

    today i had a strange thing for the first time (10.9.1),
    i clicked on several files in the finder, and within a fraction of a second the file was gone. (on the click)
    i searched for them, and no results, but i went into list view (home>desktop>"listview" of files)
    and there, the files were shown up. i copied them into a subfolder, and now they are present again.
    any idea, what went wrong?
    thanks

    Do a Get Info on Finder on the Documents folder, see what Rights & privileges you have or do not have.

  • Can not establish list view with iPhone 7.1

    Since the latest update at my iPhone 4s I have been having difficulty in establishing the list view at my screen. That is the view which shows forthcoming events as a vertical list covering day by day - and with the possibility to scroll down. What am I missing?

    to the left of the search button in day view are dots with lines.  Click that.  You should see the list view.

  • Using ALT key in list view doesn't quite work like it used to...

    I haven't used this feature since OS9 so please excuse my ignorance!
    In OS9 when viewing files in Finder in List view, one used to be able to open subfolders by holding down the ALT key while clicking the folder triangle. Close the main folder and ALT-clicking open again would open a second level of subfolders et cetera.
    However, in OS X it appears that ALT-clicking a folder's triangle now opens ALL subfolders in one go (which can hold up the Finder quite a bit if you have a lot of stuff), and ALT-clicking the folder's triangle to CLOSE the folder doesn't close all the subfolders in one go (they are all open within the main folder).

    A faster way, which works for me when I have logged out, is to log in, get the Discussions home page and then hit reload, which takes me to the thread I was looking for.
    Hope this works for you,the alternative is to keep logged-in in your browser and avoid all this.
