Niamh, First off, nobody has specified how you are displaying the files of which you speak.
I will assume that you are displaying that list in the "list view" of "windows explorer." If this assumption is inaccurate, all the following is possibly inaccurate. At the top of the list of files is a line containing column headings. The column headings can differ from one user's computer to another user's computer because the user can select which file descriptors to be displayed. You will need to use the JAWS CURSOR to navigate to these column headings. When you have placed the JAWS CURSOR on the appropriate column heading, click the left mouse button to sort the list by the values in that column. Clicking a second time on that same heading will sort in the reverse order from the first sorted order. HINT: Sometimes, this only works properly when the JAWS CURSOR is on the second or third character in the name of the column heading. So, for example, if the column heading is "modified," place the JAWS CURSOR on the letter "d" in the word "modified" before clicking the left mouse button. hth Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Niamh" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2011 1:11 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] document files listed by date hi Mike, well i think my brain must have frozen. I have been sent a folder by a colleague which has each file named followed by the date created, as there are seven hundred files in all it is a bit of a nightmare. Lennie method works for him but I can't hack it, I found modified through your system but I couldn't change it to work. Never mind time for icecream I think. Any thoughts gratefully acceptted.
