📎 AI Summary:
The user "stevenp" reports an issue where Windows folders default to sorting files by weeks, requiring manual adjustment to "group by none" in File Explorer, and cannot set a universal default.

A third commenter suggests that the sorting is already by name and asks for clarification on the specific location where the user wants to apply the sorting preference. Overall, the thread discusses sorting preferences in Windows Explorer, with the main issue being how to set a default sorting method for folders.

Every program I run from file manager to q-dir is sorting windows folder by weeks. I have to manually go to view and then select group by none. Whenever I enter the new folder I have to start the entire process all over again.

In file explorer folder options it only gives me the option to reset folders and not to apply to all folders if those 2 are related

I want windows by deafult to sort all filenames/foldernames from A-Z

I think it is already sorted as name. May I know exactly at where you want to do this.
