Hi Paul, Thanks for the email.
I tried both Modern and Classic and they behave the same. Within Modern view, clicking on the header to sort by name is able to sort files by name, but not directories. So I am unable to easily find the directory I want. In contrast, clicking on the header to sort by size or date modified worked fine.

Directories are not sorted directories by "name", "date modified", "date created", or any sorting regularly utilized. Furthermore, the "Sort by Date" button doesn't apply to the directory listing, only to the file listing, so it is of no help. Can this be changed and how can this be done? Are you using Modern or Classic? Edit -> Preferences -> [General] -> File Selection Other than that it seems that thatś something of an oversight and needs to be fixed. Thanks, Paul.
