Hmm, you have me stumped. I just tried it with mine. After changing the arrangement from alphabetical by name to reverse order by name, and then exiting, when I came back in, the view was the same.
I am using Windows XP professional, and JAWS 7.0. Hopefully someone else on this list can help.

What can I do to make it stay in a up and down order instead of it going across? so that I don't have to keep going to the menu bar every time. many thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: Annette Carr To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2006 7:27 PM Subject: RE: [jaws-users] viewing in descending order I'm going to assume that you are working in the My Documents view. Instructions for Changing the arrangement of files and folders in the "My Documents" view Once you have the "My Documents" file/folder list opened: . Go to the View menu on the Menu Bar. . Move down to "List". If this is not check marked, press enter. This will check the "List" item and close the menu. . If you want to see the details for each item, open up the View menu again and move down to details. If this is checked, you should already be able to see the details of your listed files. If it is not checked, press enter to check it and close the menu. . There are some standard sorting arrangements available. Go back to the View menu and move down to the "Arrange By" item and press enter. This will open a submenu. . Arrow through this submenu to find the arrangement type you want. Just press enter on this item to check it. . If the listing of files are arranged in ascending order and you want them in descending order, or vice-versa, go back up to the View menu, move down to "Arrange by" and again press enter on the arrangement type that you had previously selected. This will arrange your file/folder list in the reverse order.

What version of JAWS are you using? And it is also helpful to let us know what operating system you are using. When you talk about ascending order, what are you referring to, date, or something else? I'm sure once you provide more info, we will be able to help you.

I know that when you hit alt v and then d you can set things to be viewd in descending order. WhatI want to know is how do you set it so that you don't always have to hit that key stroke every time? Many thanks for all your help. from Mich Verrier from New Liskeard Ontario Canada.
