Good thing I read on, I was about to bite your head off (-:

To do the same as I advised in my last post, but in a Open / Save As...
dialogue box, then instead of using what I called "the Top Menus"
"View" "List" (& etc.,) just click on the button in the Open / Save
As... boxes that reads "View Menu" when your mouse hovers over it, and
select the appropriate item (Icons, Tiles,
Thumbnails, (Filmstrip, in some instances) or List views)....

1. Excellent! If I select "Details", I can then click on a column
heading (e. g. "Name"), and it's sorted by that - even if I switch back
to "List".
2. But it doesn't _remember_ - next time I do a save, they're back in
the odd order. (Date Modified, I think.) (And it also doesn't remember
if I left it at "Details", either - it goes back to List.)
