Same thing here. I've done a lot of searching around, but I don't see
too many posts about this problem and I've seen no solutions.

Anyone?

Why not sort in date order?

Because I want to see it in alphabetical order. I just don't want it to
sort new items automatically. I think some of the other posters gave
reasons that I'm in agreement with.

There must be a registry entry/hack/setting somewhere that will tell Vista
to not immediately sort new files in the folder you have opened.

So I guess this is dead here, no one has any ideas of if there's a reg hack
or some other setting that will make the sorting work like it did in XP?

Not that I know of. I don't like Vista's explorer either. I liked how it
was in XP. In Ubuntu the files are alphabetically sorted automatically
too so I expect this is where Microsoft got the idea to do it that way
from. Should of made it optional.

JUST DISCOVERED THIS!!!!

If you drag one item in the folder out of sort order, you turn off
auto-sort. Newly created items will be added to the bottom & stay there
until you click a column header or use the context menu to select a sort
order. The custom order will persist being close


Have Fun!!!!

You are right! Well spotted!
The first item listed under "Registry Hacks" at (beware wordwrap):
[url]http://www.scribd.com/doc/429373/Windows-Xp-Tweaks-A-work-in-progress?ga_related_doc=1[/url]
deals with Auto Sort in the XP Start Menu.
I am not much into messing with the registry, but someone here with such
skills might be able to adapt this tweak to turn auto-sort off when items
are added to a folder without having to remember to drag a file out of
sequence first.

LOL. That tweak looks familiar!

[url]http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/browse_thread/thread/68dfb289faaaafdd/8694cb5c6d5fe79d?hl=en&lnk=st&q=#8694cb5c6d5fe79d[/url]

There is something that can be done in the registry, but to apply to all
folders, it requires having templates set for all the various folder types
beforehand & then running a script to toggle a single bit in those templates
as well as all saved folder views -- and I haven't written the script yet!
:)

Also, the behavior doesn't mimic XP exactly. When the above tweak is in
effect, the new folder will be at the bottom, but a refresh won't sort it.
You have to click the column header twice.
