how restore alphabetization of documents when click file > open?

[Guest]

In Word, when clicking file>>open (or the "open folder" icon) the documents
in the selected folder always used to be alphabetized. But now they are not.
What happened? How can I restore alphabetization?

Right-click on an empty area of the window and choose Arrange Icons > By
Name. If you are in Details view, click on the Name column header.

Right-click a blank area of the dialog, click Arrange Icons By, and
then click Name in the submenu.

If the dialog is in Details view, you can just click the Name header
at the top of the column. Additional clicks there switch between
ascending and descending order. (The view selection is on both the
right-click menu and the View button at top right.)
