I change the columns to one from the page-layout tab on the ribbon, alt
followed by p, followed by j. Then you can choose one column. That can
present a problem, however, if you need to do any editing.

With the folder that you want to change opened, open the context menu with
alt-v. Then choose o for options. If you have the items in the folder in
alphabetical order, the arrangement by name will be checked. Press enter
while you are focused on this option. The list will reverse from Z to A.
I always keep the previous version until I'm sure that everything is OK. So
far, I am experiencing no problems with Jaws 16.

I've owned two laptops over the years, and both had pads for mouse
functions. My remedy was to place a four-by-six notecard over the pad and
tape it down on the right. Then when a sighted person needs to use the pad,
all you need to do is flip the card back. The tape lasts a long time.
Press the alt key, which takes you to the ribbon. Then press n for the
insert tab. Press n again. Press u and then b for bottom of page. You
will hear plain number one grid. Tab once. You will hear plain number 2
grid. Press enter, which executes the command and returns you to the
document.
