Files are in reverse order in Open dialog box
Seems like a Win bug: When opening a file, all files and folders in the Open
dialog box are listed in reverse alphabetical order. This is annoying whenever opening a file, where I have to either "think backward" or change the sort order. Help anyone?

This will change the sort order of the filenames from A-Z instead of the current Z-A.

The Open dialog box has nothing clickable (like a column header) to change the sort order unless the view is changed to Detail mode.

Use Doug's fix or change it to detail mode, fix it and then revert to whatever view you want.
