Local panels files listed in reverse alpabetical order

For some odd reason my current project now lists all the files and folders in reverse alphabetical order. Anyone any ideas please?

Great, many thanks. Isn't it simple when you're shown? Pity wasn't in
the Help files.

  • Finder files always in reverse alphabetical order in List View

    Hi all,
    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I've experienced an intermittent quirk with Finder. I generally keep most files in folders by alphabetical order. But in my Applications folder, Finder is stuck on keeping them in reverse alphabetical order, which is annoying. I've never had this issue in previous releases of OS X becuase there was always the small triangle to invert order, but this triangle doesn't appear in my Applications folder. Only my Applications folder has a weird white bar with Name, Size, etc, as opposed to the gray one that appears in every other folder in the OS.
    I have tried to remedy this via the following:
    Changing from List View to other views--this puts them in normal alpha order, but I like apps in List View so I can see many of them at a glance
    Sorting by other categories (file size, etc.) and then switching back
    Clicking on the name bar with every possible combination of buttons (Fn + click, Ctrl + click, etc.)
    All to no avail. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? It only happens with the Applications folder, and only in List View.
    Thanks!

    I also have this problem, and the work around works for me, but...
    This has got to be a bug, right?  There is nothing, anywhere that I can see, that controls whether it is alpha ascending or alpha descending.  The "fix", such as it is, is to ignore the Arrange By menu and use the column headers to select the sort order. 
    In fact, to bulletproof it (because I will forget eventually) the best solution would be to remove the "arrange" menu altogether because it does not do anything that sorting by column headers does not do.  In fact, it does less.  In even more fact, it does worse than less. 
    Apple is keenly persuing minimalism.  So why does the arrange menu exist?  And if it does exist, why did no-one test that it works rationally?
    The corollary of all this is that the Arrange By menu does the same thing as clicking the menu headers, but when you use it, it disables them. 
    I have been banging my head on my desk since I bought my new machine with Mt Lion on it about the wretched headers not setting the sort order and it is because some - numbskull is not the _only_ word that comes to mind - has decided one selection mechanism for the sort function should disable the other. ¿Eh?

  • When saving, how do I change the default order of my files in the pop up window which is currently reverse chronologic order?

    When I want to save a file on my computer, Firefox opens a window for me to designate a location. Up until a few weeks ago, my files were listed in chronological order by file type. Now they're listed in reverse chronological order which is not convenient. This happens every time and I can't find where to change the setting.

    Did you check the right-click context menu ?
    You can also try to switch to list mode and click the Name column header to switch the direction.

  • How to switch from reverse alphabetical order?

    Please forgive a newbie question: when I open a list view of my hard drives in Finder, the names of the folders are listed in reverse alphabetical order, with the Z's on top, and the A's on the bottom. How can I change it so that it displays the A's on top and the Z's on bottom, whenever I open the view? Thanks in advance.

    Click the "Name" bar, so the small triangle faces up again.
    You know you can also sort by Date Modified, etc, just click on the column's topbar.

  • Sort Order of Files In Files List

    Yes, yes... it sounds like another case of FTFF (fix the
    f*****g finder).
    I switched from Windows, and DW used to display files in a
    sensible order. i.e. directories alpha, and then files alpha. This
    made it easy to select file in a directory within DW.
    Now, on Mac OS X everything is alphabetised and jumbled up. I
    suspect this is unfixable, and is a reflection of the much hated
    finder column view issue.
    Is there a way to change the way DW sorts the dirs and files
    in the file list window (other than reversing it)?
    Steve

    > Is there a way to change the way DW sorts the dirs and

    have you expanded the Files Panel, made the sort by clicking
    on the
    headings, then collapsed it?

  • Can I reverse the order of finder lists or icons?

    Hello,
    I am finding some problems with Lion that I never seemed to have with Snow Leopard and would very much appreciate someone's help.
    To cut a long story short I want to reverse the order of the files in finder, either in list or icon view (or maybe any kind of view). At the moment they are in date created order, but I have also tried in name order and cannot see any way to reverse the order.
    At present the are show the newest file first but I want to see them in oldest first as they always were for me in OSX 10.6
    Also... in date created view they appear in groups (eg previous 7 days, previous 30 days) I have never seen this before and find it particulalry annoying. I'm sure some people love it but for me it is one of the things that I most hated about windows, but at least in Windows I found it easy to turn off (along with reversing order!). Can anyone tell me how to stop OSX from doing this?
    Much obliged,
    Pablo

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and don't speak for "Apple, Inc."
    In Finder icon view, click the Arrange button and select which column you'd like to sort by.
    In Finder list view, click the top header of any column to sort by that column. Clicking the same header again reverses the sort order (and the small 'arrow' at the end of the column name reverses direction too).
    And using Finder, View, Customize Toolbar the Finder window toolbar can be customized to display icons only, text only or both, as well as adding additional icons to the default toolbar:

  • Make list of names in local variable list appear in alphabetical order?

    When you select a variable name from the drop down list of a local variable the list appears to be in chronological order. Is there any to make this list appear in alphabetical order?
    George

    Hi George:
    You said that local variables list appears in chronological order, but you wanted to appear in alphabetic order.
    You just need to set apropiate names and then use SetTabbingOrder
    You can use SetTabbingOrder to order all controls and indicators of your front panel, treating every control you see in the block diagram as one
    (A cluster is one of the controls you can order, but the elements inside the cluster must be ordered with ReorderControlsInCluster right-clicking the cluster)
    Returning. To SetTabbingOrder you have to click on VI's EDIT menu and select Set Tabbing Order.
    The front panel will turn it's color to somethin darker, and every control will be shown with a number.
    That number is it's tabbing index.
    At the beginning you see a 0 in the top, that means that if you click in a control, that control will become number 0, and then the number it the top will pass to be 1, so you can select the next control in order.
    If your first 23 elements are ordered, you don't need to click all 23, you can just set the top number to 23 and continue ordering.
    When you reorder an element, all elements before that remain the same, and the rest are added by one.
    When you are don, click on OK, or discard changes with x
    This SetTabbingOrder you can do with elements in your front panel, can be done with elements into a cluster and elements into a Tab Control. Only change de name (in clusters is "Reorder controls in cluster" and in Tabs is "Reorder controls in page"), but they work the same
    You might be interested in reordering in groups than reordering alphabetically?
    Hope it helps,
    Aitortxo.

  • How do I reverse the order in which files appear in Icon View option?

    I took a lot of pictures on a trip recently, which I have uploaded to a folder in Finder. When I click on View Options and then Keep Arranged by Date Created, they get rearranged so that the most recent appears at the top, and the first ones taken are at the bottom. How can I reverse this order, so that they appear in chronological order?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    There might be another way.
    There are utilities which can batch-rename files, including options that sort by date, begin all the resulting filenames with a common prefix, and then add a sequential "padded" filename suffix. If you then display the resulting collection of files in alphabetical order (as in Finder's Arrange by Name in icon view), they should be sorted chronologically.
    I haven't tried any of these, but the site for [A Better Finder Rename|http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html], shareware, states:
    "A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF shooting date and time information from digital camera images and exploit them in creating sequence numbers or adding time and date information to the file name. "
    There may be suitable freeware alternatives -search for *file renamer* in [Version Tracker|http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx>.

  • FTP_COMMAND in order to get files list at FTP address

    Hi all.
    I want to get a list of files exist at a specific FTP address.
    For that I'm using FTP_CONNECT (OK) and after I want to execute FTP_COMMAND with parameter command = 'ls' in order to recievce the files list in output table data[].
    I keep on getting an exception 3 (data_error).
    Anyone can help please ?
    Thanks,
    Rebeka

    Hello,
    I know by experience the ABAP programmers learn most based on examples.
    In every SAP system you have the following FTP example programs, analyze the source code and check how function modules like FTP_CONNECT and FTP_COMMAND work :
    RSFTP002                         Execute FTP Command
    RSFTP003                         FTP put / get Test
    RSFTP004                         FTP Copy
    RSFTP007                         Test FB:FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 / FTP_R3_TO_SERVER
    RSFTP008                         Test FB:FTP_CLIENT_TO_R3 / FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT
    RSFTP009                         Test FTP put with Verify
    RSFTP011                         FTP Copy
    Success.

  • Reverse the order of stacks list view

    Is there a way to reverse the order when viewing the contents of a stack in list view by date added?
    For example, the downloads stack: the default setting puts the most recently added at the top of the list, meaning I have to scroll up to it, rather than at the bottom, where it'd be right there above the icon to click on.
    Thanks for the help

    I completely agree with Solar Servant,
    The regular stacks view is viewable in this (very practical) direction, so why not the list variety?
    thanks for making a more usable OSX a reality

  • How to reverse the order of a list (nodes)

    i can't figure out how to reverse the order of the values in a list of nodes. Could anyone help?
    public class IntList
         public IntNode head;
         public IntList()
              head = null;
         public void reverse()
              // I don't know how to write this
    }

    read through the list from the end to the start, putting each element into a new list. then replace the original list with the new one.
    lots of ways it can be done.
    dont ask me which is more efficient. the stack suggestion sounds pretty good.

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

  • Computer Contents in File List

    My file list now contains all of the items and files in my

    It's use is to find and copy files that are outside of the
