Icon Arrangement Problem in "Save As" Dialog Box

[Oxman]

I need info on how to arrange files and folders using
the "Save As" dialog box so that they will stay in
position. I always set up folders and save files in
alphabetical order or start with the number 1, and its
always worked until a few days ago, when my folders and
files reversed and started with the letter "Z" and the
highest numbers instead of "A" and "1." Ok, when I open
the "Save As" dialog box, I right click for the View
dialog box and then click on List, then I select Arrange
Icons and click on Name, then Save. This procedure
reverse the Icons to alphabetical order until I attempt
to Save again. The Icons used to remain in alphabetical
order. This happens when using Outlook Express, Internet
Explorer, and Windows Explorer. How can I lock my Icon
arrangement to prevent the reversing?
