Re: Desktop Folders [solved]

Thank you.

I now see that the arrangements have only changed when I go to post an item on a forum and select a folder from which to upload it.

Desktop Folders

The files in my desktop folders changed from alphabetical order to reverse alphabetical order. The reverse happened not too long ago. And there was a period where there was no alphabetical order. Mint 19.2 [Don't know how to edit signature]
