How change order of files/folders in the Save As box

[Bern73]

Outlook 2003,XPP,Google Desktop installed. I save emails to folders under My
Docs on C: drive and the order of files/folders in the Save As box used to be
folders first then files but that recently changed (possibly due to Google
desktop search I did). Now, when I Alt F + A an email the Save As box lists
files first then folders and I have to scroll across the little box to find
the right folder to open. How do I get the order of files/folders that pop up
in the Save As box to revert back to what I had?

It is showing you how they are sorted in Windows. Open the folder in My
Computer or Windows Explorer and go View/Arrange Icons By, Name.

Thanks for response. I thought the same thing - order in Windows was the same
order the Save As box used, but that is what changed. Even when I do what you
recommended it still didn't put the folders first in the SA box, even though
Windows is showing folders first then files. Another peculiar thing is that
folders used to always sort alphabetically now they sort reverse alphB.
Something changed after I used Google desktop (i'm guessing) but i can't
figure out how to get it back to the order I need: Alpha A-Z folders listed
first, then files. Help!

In the Save As box, click Views and select "Details". The Name column will
appear. Click that column to sort the names in the opposite direction.
Then click the Views button again and return to the view you were using. It
will stay sorted in the correct order.
