Numerical Sorting Order? - When I open the file system explorer, it sorts like this: 1 2 3 12 34 200 I want it to sort like this: 1 12 2 200 3 34 How do I change the sorting scheme? We are using WinXP Pro. Thanks! Best Regards, Mark Buckles Harlan Labs 7544 Trade Street San..

Problems sorting files - The 'arrange icons by' option when I right click in My Music folder has changed. I used to be able to select them in order of Name, Type, Size and Modified but now I can select Name, Size, Type, Artist, Album Title, Year, Track Number and Duration. .

I think it would help if the discussion group posts were sorted by latest
date/time posted. This may aid in reducing the number of posts also!!!

Hi, Fish.

And if you like Windows Mail (as Charlie42 and Gordon suggested), you'll
love Windows Live Mail:
Windows Live Mail
http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

WM is included in every copy of Vista; WLM can be installed in any version
of Vista or WinXP.

Just click here:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

That one click will start WM (unless you've installed WLM or some other
newsreader as your default); create a News Account for the Microsoft public
news server, which is free and does not require you to log on; connect you
to THIS Vista general newsgroup; download the 300 newest messages; and
display the latest one in the Reading Pane. In other words, it will bring
you right back HERE, seeing the same messages but in a different interface.
After exploring a while on your own, you can customize the program in many
ways - including sorting the messages by date, subject, from, etc., and in
either ascending or descending sequence. Click on Newsgroups to see a list
of over 2,000 groups, including about 40 (13 in English) with "vista" in
their names; you can subscribe to any or all of them.

Occasional visitors to discussion groups (also known as Communities, but
they really are Usenet newsgroups) seem to like the web-based browser
interface, but regular readers almost always prefer a newsreader like WM/WLM
(or WinXP's Outlook Express or a third-party product). The choice is yours
and they are not mutually exclusive.

Hello stillarfish,

If you use a newsreader like Omea from http://www.jetbrains.com/omea/reader/index.html
you can sort it like you want.

Best regards

Then access newsgroups with a proper client, not via the clunky web
interface. With a newsgroup client you can sort by whatever criteria you
like.

Subscribe to newsgroups with Windows Mail:

Or a real newsreader like 40tude Dialog.
