Hi Sylvain,

Thanks, and thats too bad for me.

All the files added were created the same time but were added to the folder on a totally independant field (hip number).

I thought this could be done in DOS with the dir command with a switch, and was hoping Explore would allow it also.

Thanks,

Jim



>AFAIK, you can't turn off the sort order in Windows Explorer. But if you sort the files by date, you should see the list of files in the order they were created.
