When I open a program that has a drop-down "sort by" menu for opening files (Word, Excel, Picture Viewer, File Explorer, etc.), I cannot seem to get the last sort by setting to "stick" when I close the program and open it again. I don't mean when I minimize the program (by tapping the red X), but after I actually close the program using an add-on program or the Switcher Bar. For example, if I open the picture viewer program, the default sort is by date. If I change that to 'name,' CLOSE the program and then re-open it, it defaults back to 'date.' Naturally, if I just minimize it, it 're-opens' with the files sorted by 'name.' This is true with other programs as well but their default settings are usually 'name.' I am wondering if this is normal or is something wrong with my unit. Thanks.
