Hi, I want to sort the files and folders numerically on my Windows 10 OS. If i give the name '01.Abc'  to a .doc and '02.Edf' to a folder then the folder is showing first and the doc as second in order. Please refer the screenshot. I want '01.Abc' shown first and '02.Edf' shown as second in order. Please help.

Hi Surya,

What you want to achieve isn't possible by default in Windows, because it is a somewhat unpopular opinion.

I searched a bit and found two workarounds:

  1. Use FreeCommander:

You need to press enter if you have 1909 to make #2 work.

I hope that helps.
