How can I get Windows to sort folders when you click on the "Data modified" column header?
It is not, when shortcut folders and files are in the list. How can I fix this, or is this a bug in Windows?
Microsoft, this is embarrassing.

– Darren – 2017-07-28T13:48:46.3301Wait, are you asking for folders and files to be sorted together, rather than folders first, or are you saying the folders aren't being sorted at all? – Darren – 2017-07-28T13:50:21.383
What do you think should be the sorting order? – DavidPostill – 2017-07-28T14:05:36.577
@David, look at the last file in the list. See how it's 7/26. The middle files are 7/27, and the shortcuts are 7/17. I clicked the header before making this screen shot. – MacGyver – 2017-07-28T15:31:20.203
@MacGyver It sorts the shortcuts first, then the folders. – DavidPostill – 2017-07-28T15:41:59.537
@David, yes it does. That's what the feature is apparently, but it doesn't make any logical sense it would do that. I guess it would be considered an enhancement to Microsoft, but most would consider it a bug. – MacGyver – 2017-07-28T15:49:02.100
1@MacGyver Yeah, I use xyplorer. It can be configured to sort folders separately or not. – DavidPostill – 2017-07-28T16:16:26.163
