In Windows Explorer, in the right-hand pane, the default sort order is by
name, but can be changed to date, size, or any other column heading by
clicking on the column heading, with a second such click reversing the
order (though I think folders always stay together, before or after
files).
However, the sorting in the _left_ pane, where the tree structure is
shown, seems to be (increasing) name order only.
Anyone know if it can be changed?
I don't actually have any need or want to change it; I just wondered.
You can manually reorder it somewhat!
Only by changing names (e. g. by putting _ or numbers before them, as
"123456789" describes), unless you know otherwise!
I just drag-n-drop to arrange things how I want them ordered; - seems that WE
remembers the positions because any time I reopen it the positions persist as I
ordered them. IOW, the tree is CUSTOM ORDERED instead of sorted by any default
means (NOTE: the default sort persists within the custom ordering of the tree
nodes).
