I am finding this thread interesting. I was under the impression as a Mac
newbee that people did not fill up the Finder with icons but went to the Doc
or to the Documents folder. Now am I missing out on something? Maybe you
are referring to the Documents folders as Finder folders, please enlighten
me!

Subject: Re: [Mac-access]: Sorting finder with folders on top on mac?
Oh wonderful! Been looking for a similar solution myself as can't
understand why Finder by default shows everything in alphabetical order
with folders showing in spurious places. Hope I'm making sense.

I am not sure I agree with this.
I find that if I am in column view
then setting the view options with command J to arrange by name and
sort by kind pretty much delivers this result.
For example If I do this on my documents folder I find at the top of the
window are my folder alias files but after that the folders are all
grouped together alphabetically followed by a similar alphabetical list
of the single files in the . Given that that Finder pretty much treats
the folder alias as a folder anyway this makes some sense.
So in most practical sense this this replicates the Windows or Android
or Linux arrangement

No there is no way. I just have learned to deal with it for the 4 years
I have had the mac. I kind of like it this way. Why not if you want this
feature go to apple's support page and find the feedback link. I have
put many of my suggestions there and most of them made it.
If I am wrong let me know as I just kind of don't need this feature
anymore. lol! I normally go by date modified only. and I have an excel
spread sheet in my head of everything on my computer so for me finding
thing is not hard about 80 percent of the time.

hey all,
the one thing i hate about finder on the mac is that files and folders
are all thrown together.
is there a way to put the folders at the top and the files below the
folders as on windows?
I tried sorting my kind and that worked sort of but i still want the
folders and files to be alphabetical.
any help on this would be fantastic.
thanks
