Q: Windows directory listing: dirs on top of list vs bottom When I browse a directory & my settings are "View->Details" usually the dirs are all listed at top i.e. head of the list. This is how I prefer it.
But every once in a while, inexplicably (to me) the dirs go to the bottom of the list and individual files appear at the top. 
Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? What controls whether windows explorer will list dirs before files or the other way around?
If it matters I'm using Win-8.
