Grouping folders together, not alphabetically?


Recommended Posts

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.

Cheers,

Nick

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 :)

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.
