About this tag
The 'sort by name' tag on WindowsForum.com covers user discussions about folder view customization in Windows, particularly the frustration when Windows resets folder views to default Details view, clearing custom sort orders like sort by name. Users report this issue in Windows 8.1 64-bit, where folders randomly lose personalized settings such as icon size, grouping, and sorting preferences. The tag aggregates troubleshooting threads where users seek solutions to prevent Windows from overriding their chosen folder view configurations, including sort by name settings. Common themes include registry tweaks, folder template adjustments, and third-party tools to maintain persistent folder view customizations.
