Hello Lenny, There are a couple things you can do to have the details read by JAWS. You can change your screen echo to All from highlighted. This should cause JAWS to read more of the details as you use up or down arrow keys between the listed items. You can also leave screen echo on highlighted and use right arrow key after moving on to a file name. Keep using right arrow key to hear the associated headers. Using left arrow will read them in the other direction. You can also use tab key to the headers and use right and left arrow keys across them. Pressing enter key on any of them will sort the list of files in reverse order. If you press enter on the Name header, the list of files will be listed from Z to A. If you press enter on the same Name header again, the list will be sorted back in A to Z order. The same is true for the other headers. Pressing enter one time on the date modified header will sort the list by most current date and pressing enter on the date modified header again will sort files showing the earliest modified files at the top of the list. You can choose which headers to show by going under the view menu and opening the Choose Details menu item. In the dialog box, you can check items you want to show in details, uncheck those you do not want showing, and move items up or down in order. If you check an item, it will not show as moved to the checked items at the top until you close the dialog and go back into it. You can then sort the checked items as you wish.
Take care.
