my documents have reversed alphabetized

For some reason the files and folders in My Documents were once alphabetized now start with Z instead of A.   This occurs in when I open or save while in Word.  But, if I open My Documents from the desktop they are listed A to Z.  It is so annoying.


I have tried to right click and Arrange icons by name but it does not work. 


Any other ideas.  I have asked so many people but noone knows. 


Thanks in advance,

You've got a couple of questions going here.


To alphabetize an open folder (directory) click on the NAME column header - this is a TOGGLE field -

Thanks Donna, I am going to try and get things in order. But I am afraid that no matter how many times I say I want to see some things in details and others in thumbnails that never sticks. I want to see my photos in thumbnails and everything else in detail but I have to change that almost everytime I open them. It seems to remember when I go back in the same day.


But in my doctuments folder everything has been in the same place for so long that I would probably be lost if my download folder was closer to the top and my working folder at the bottom.......lol......Thanks again.....Janet
