icyorange Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Is it possible to 'group' folders together at the beginning of a folder, instead of getting the folders put alphabetically in amongst your files? Like it does on Windows. :) It's the one thing that's getting to me since getting a Mac, I just find it takes longer to find the folder you're looking for.

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 20, 2004 I don't know of any way with doing this in Finder, but Path Finder (a Finder replacement) does do this. Might be worth giving it a shot. It's kind of cool, like Finder on crack, I suppose :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 View - arrange - by type. When you ask for an alphabetical list - Finder does exactly that (ignores type and sorts the whole damn list alphabetically) When you ask for a group by type it will place all the folders together and sort the folder alphabetically (it also groups documents, images, programs, etc) - again it does exactly what you want - group the documents according to their kind (sub-sorted alphabetically) and ignores everything else. The windows behavior is a little more complex: it's sort of like "Organize alphabetically, except for these folder objects: sort those separate from the rest and put them at the beginning". Finder doesn't have something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icyorange Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 The View>Arrange>Type seems like an easy solution - however, the folders appear after the files, i.e. at the bottom of the finder window, anyway to reverse this?
