Hi. You can sort files and folders by "kind," which means it sorts files and folders by the file extension. If you have a big folder with a lot of files and sub folders, it will sort the file extension in alphabetically order. If you have a lot of applications, it will show them first, and then it will show all the folders when the file extension comes to f. I hope that makes sense. You can change the view by doing the following: 1: When you are in Finder, press command j 2: move the VO cursor to the right until you've reached the popup button. 3: Press VO spacebar on the button, and choose "kind." 4: Press command j again to hide the view options. You can't sort the files so the folders are shown first in Finder. There is a replacement for Finder called Path Finder which is able to sort things so the folders are shown first, but this application is pretty expensive as far as I remember.
