Attachment display window organization

[Guest]

When i use any web-based app and select to attach a document, the resulting
window would feature a My Documents button, and upon clicking My Documents,
would list the folders in it alphabetically.

For no known reason, it's sunddenly began displaying those folders in a
seemingly random order. I'm not sure why, but after months of navigating
alphabetically, this is much more time consuming.

Can you tell me how I can reset this so that when i'm attaching docs, it
displays folder and file names alphabetically?

thanks.
