File order

Post by davidpcoleman »

It's not affecting anything, but it is just aggravating. If I go to my files and look in a directory, everything is in alphabetical order. If I go to post or upload something, it is in a random order making it hard to find the file I want. I have gone into files and clicked VIEW>ARRANGE ITEMS>BY NAME and still jumbled up. I am enclosing screen shots. What, if anything can be done to fix this? And I have the SHOW HIDDEN FILES box unchecked, but when going to upload, I can see the hidden system files, Like I said, doesn't affect operational, just aggravates,
First is what I see when I go to post, 2nd is a regular view will all in order and last is where the hidden files show.
