That worked, but I couldn't check ascending with the space bar. I had to ask a sighted person to do it with the mouse. That sighted person is my daughter, who is rather impatient, so I'm not goint to be able to get her to do this with all the files in Documents.

Press, Alt + V, to open the View menu. 2. Arrow down to the, Sort By, sub-menu, press enter to open. Also, make sure the, List, checkbox is checked as you're arrowing down. 3. Arrow down, & you want both the, Name & Ascending, checkboxes checked. It sounds like the, Descending, option might be checked, so pressing enter on, Ascending, should fix the problem. Take care.

If I shift tab, I get to a tree few where I can open or close things. But I can't change the order from a to z in the documents folder or the sub folders within it.

Can someone explain in detail, what I need to do to change the order?
