Lion's default sorting drives me crazy
Lions default sorting for Finder drives me crazy.
I predominantly use the column view and Lion seems to arrange files and folders by "kind."
The thing that put me over the edge was when I updated the default application for a README file,
it moved the file to the top of the file list. For what!?
Here is a simple fix:
1. in a finder window, right click and choose Show View Options
2. in the resulting window, in the second group, choose:
a. Arrange by: None
b. Sory by: Name
Voila! All of my windows magically updated to the previously sane defaults.
