Thanks for your efforts, Dave, but you're not adding anything new. It was never about how to sort files in a folder, but rather why they have to be sorted now when they didn't two months ago. They changed something with an update (I assume). They probably don't even know it yet.
They so screwed up 1809 that they stopped releasing it until they fix a problem with the update deleting personal files. I've put that off for as long as they will allow. When I finally have to have 1809 maybe they'll have fixed this problem too. I'm not betting on it.
