I want my emails to sort in descending order. This was working fine, but today it has decided to sort in descending order AND by subject. I can't get the 'sort by subject button' to clear. How do I do this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis has been asked in many ways in many places, but I've yet to see a solution to this... when using Windows Explorer to display folder contents, and to then sort the files displayed by date (created, accessed, or modified, the problem is the same), the files are sorted first by month, then by day, then by year. The result is that all "January" date appear first, then all days within January, then all years for January dates, and THEN all February dates, etc. This is not how a sort by date is done.
Any first year programming student knows that when sorting by date, the result HAS to be chronological. Why doesn't Microsoft know this? Fields in a sort need to be handled by TYPE. Date fields are NOT the same as numerical fields. When an ascending sort of "1/15/2007, 1/14/2009" produces the results of "1/14/2009, 1/15/2007", that is a BUG, and Microsoft should fix it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen sorting by email address, the first part of the address (before the @ symbol) is often "help" or "support" or some other standard word. So one should have an option to sort emails using the part of the address AFTER the @ symbol as well.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI followed the column width tutorial thing here and a bunch more to make it so all my folder have the default sort by order of name, date modified, type, size so its like xp. but when I lookit my columns it ends up like this all the columns are stuck at 80 pixels so date modified is cut off. I did do the obvious method of going to the show more and changing it to 104 which is the size for all of the date modified to show up but that didn't work so thats why i'm asking. For some reason if I shuffle through the views (I press the view button on the top a few times to go from list to details, etc back to list) and come back to list format, it ends up the way I want it. Like so:
but if i close the folder and reopen it, it ends up the first way. I did press apply to folders after the change was made to see if it sticks but it didn't My questions is how you set it so I can make it look like the way it does the second time around the first time cause looking at "Date modif..." is sorta annoying. do i have to reset all the folders and then reapply settings? Also another quick question, is there a way to change all your folders to a single template instead of going one by one? since view settings are set are done by template. and not the subfolder options cause that only changes the options of the subfolders of the root directory or whatever directory you chose. or if that isn't possible, is it possible the settings for the template for "all items" and apply it to other templates?
I can't find a way to sort font folder by last modified date. In windows xp there were that column but in vista it seems to be disappeared.

As part of the Office 14 release wave, Microsoft is going to provide“Office Web applications,” which it is describing as “lightweight versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. These versions will allow users to access their documents via a Web browser on the PC, phone or other devices.
Microsoft is slated to make the announcement about its Office Web applications plans at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles on October 28 during the morning keynote. Read more at the Source: Microsoft to ‘webify’ Office (sort of) | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com

One annoyance that I've found in Vista is that unlike all previous Windows versions that I've used, when I get a file selection menu, such as for opening a file within an application or 'save as...', if the list is a multicolumn one, as is usually the case, the ordering of the files is NOT vertical as it always had been before, but is horizontal.
Although I can see a logic in this, the fact is that when I'm faced with columns, my eye naturally reads down each column, and therefore I need the vertical sort arrangement as had always previously been the case.
Please, therefore, does anyone know of a fix for this, so that I can restore vertical sort arrangement in those lists?
This is what my system has and I would like to ask you guys if everything works to the maximum. Why do I only have 2.12 available of physical memory?
I would love to hear what you say guys. Tnx.

On one of my computers a newly created Folder In my Documents does not find its correct space in alphabetical order when the name is inserted but stays at the bottom of the list of Folders in My Documents, requiring it to be placed in the correct place by hand incurring all the difficulties of merging Folders at the same time - all time consuming. Is there a way of correcting this? The Technical Assistance for HP Compaq failed to find a solution - maybe you readers are better equipped with the grey matter than they are?

nothing seems to do it.

I purchased a new computer that came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I purchased the Any Time Upgrade for Vista Ultimate. MS had to mail me the Any Time Disc, which is taking a long time coming. I haven't installed any software, including my anti virus, thinking it would be best to do the system upgrade first. Is this correct, or can I just go ahead and load the other software (Office 2007, QuickBooks 2008) and Trend Micro Internet Security?
