The easiest way to fix the issue is to ungroup the files by deselecting the Date Modified option. First, open the File Explorer and go the Downloads folder. You can click on the Downloads option under Quick Access. That is it. As soon as you select None, the files will be ungrouped date wise and default to whatever view the Downloads folder is set to.
In my case, the view is set to Details. This action will instantly fix files grouped by date in the downloads folder. Select Group by. You can also type a time range in Search Box, e. However, if the calendar widget is not visible when you type datemodified: in Search Box, then your computer may not include datemodified search feature in the Search Box. Since Windows 10 build , this feature was removed. But you can still evoke it and find files by date modified in Windows Check how to do it below.
Choose a preferred time range like This Week. The Search Box will show your choice. If you want to choose a specific date or date range, you can click anywhere on the text in the Search Box after the colon, and the calendar will pop up. Then you can click any date or select a time range to search files by date modified in Windows The third way to search files by date on Windows 10 is: you can click the drop-down menu of Date modified column, and the calendar will show.
Click on "Date Received" to uncheck it since it's a data-free column and check the box next to Date Modified. It appears, based on the little "descending chevron" that's on display in your "Title" column that you are currently sorting on that column in descending order Z to A. If you click on any other column in the header row that becomes the sort column, whether it's ascending or descending by default depends on the column.
One need only click on the ascending chevron to toggle to descending order or vice versa. All you will do to find files downloaded in the recent past is to click on the "Date Modified" column once you're displaying it and sort it in descending order so that the newest files or folders, if you've got those, too - and they'll appear above the files show first.
The problem being that one would not generally want "General file" defaults on Media files. It's far easier to right click on your header row and tweak to get what you want and get rid of what you don't.
The point I was trying to make is Windows automatically "optimizes" the folder based on the type of files in it.
Of course, you can add whichever columns you want but I was trying to explain to mystic12 that nobody "customized" the folder. Community Forum Software by IP. Sign In Create Account.

Page 1 of 2 1 2 Next. Posted 24 April - AM Hey guys, I downloaded some file off the net on two days [Friday and yesterday] all into one folder. Posted 24 April - AM Why are you not using the "date modified" column for sort order that shows up in File Explorer by default. Posted 24 April - AM When you add new columns to the Explorer window, they will be added to the right as shown by the green arrow in the screenshot below.
