Restore Sorting Alphabetically

Reset a folder back to the default alphabetical order whenever you no longer need a custom arrangement.

When to use​

  • When you want to reset to the default alphabetical order
  • When a custom order became outdated or confusing
  • When alphabetical grouping is easier to scan

How to use​

  1. Right-click on a folder or a file with nested children
  2. Select "Restore Sorting Alphabetically"
  3. The explorer snaps back to A–Z ordering
  4. Continue organizing from the clean slate if needed

Example​

Before (custom sorting):

Dashboard.tsx
  ├── Header.tsx      ← Custom order
  ├── Content.tsx
  ├── Sidebar.tsx
  └── Footer.tsx

Custom order applied

After restoring alphabetical sorting:

Dashboard.tsx
  ├── Content.tsx     ← Alphabetical order
  ├── Footer.tsx
  ├── Header.tsx
  └── Sidebar.tsx

Back to A–Z order
