- Something I didn't originally realize is that you can set the sort order
- for each "object type" (File System, Icon, etc...) in a folder's settings
- notebook. Ergo... If you fiddle with the sort settings, you CAN get the
- directory tree window to sort the directories & files. Unfortunately,
- I'm not quite sure what settings did it for me!! Try setting each
- individual object type to sort by Name. Also, setting individual directory
- icon-view folders to "Sort Filesystem Type" and everything else to "Name"
- will give you a display with all like-type objects grouped, sorted by name.
-
- Sorry this is such a haphazard description...
- I'm in a hurry, and aren't quite clear what I did to get this to work myself!
