Sort by date

[jayC]

I used to be able to sort files in a folder by the date last opened so that
the files I recently opened are at the top of the list.
The only option I am seeing in windows vista is 'Date taken' (whatever that
means) which leaves the files sorted by alphabetical name.

How do I sort files by date last opened?

It's called "Date Accessed".

From the top toolbar:

View

Choose Details

check "Date Accessed"

You can now sort by that parameter.
