Listing the contents of folders on my hard drives

In Windows, there were programs that would list the individual files in a folder. Is there a way to do this on the Mac. Some of my folders have thousands of files in them, and if I lose them, which may have just happened, it would be nice to have a document listing their contents, so they could

Hi, This process works in El Capitan. Using VO-comma and VO-period will work if you're only moving it up or down within the visible networks. Once the original network goes out of the scroll list, VO can't seem to handle it. Using the old fashioned Drag & Drop method will work though. So,
