Change Sort Order of Files in Folders

I always have the problem where some of the folders are not able to remember my "sort" settings (e.g. Sort by Type, Sort by Date Modified, etc). Rather than editing the registry which I have detailed in the post here previously, I found another way of making the sort settings stick.

Just do the following:

1. Open the explorer window (Windows Key + E).
2. Navigate to the folder and sort the folder in the order which you want
3. Hold down the CTRL key while clicking the X in the upper right corner (close the explorer window). 

That's it. The folder will remember your sort setting after the explorer window is closed.
