Why are my files not in alphabetical order when I insert in email

[kevins2884]

I have been having problems with windows explorer for some time, so I
switched to using the "my documents" file on my desktop. I have a very
organized, extended filing system, that works perfectly when acccessed
through my documents. However, in the past 10 days, something has gone
haywire - when I go to insert files into an email, they do not come up in
alphabetical order - neither my folders, nor the files within my folders are
organized alphabetically.

On the screen where you actually select the file(s) you are attaching to the
e-mail, to the right of the "look in" dropdown are a couple icons. One
looks like a little version of what you see when you go into "my documents".
If you hold your mouse over it, it should tell you that it is the 'view
menu' or something similar. you need to click it and select details. This
will show you detailed info for all the files in the folder you are
currently looking in. Once that info is there, click the top of the list of
file names where is reads, yep "names". This will sort the files by name.
Clicking it again will reverse sort them. Once you get it sorted how you
like, you can click the 'view menu' again and select the view you prefer if
you don't want all the details of the files.
