2.) Why should one change the sorting behavior in the file explorer Q-Dir?
User question:As an old school user, I find this frustrating. I want to sort the items in my folder when I want them sorted. When I create new folders I don't want them to be sorted by date, not by name, not by grouping, etc. I want the folder to stay where it is. I had it on my old XP computer the way I like it, why can't I also do the same with my folders under Windows 11 and 10, these are sorted when renaming and creating new folders!
Answer:
Please deactivate the sorting behavior for the individual File Explorer views on Windows 11, 10, ...!
