In my document library, I have 8 items; 6 of the items are folders (#s 3-8) and 2 are Word documents (#s 1 & 2). They are named thusly:
1 - Agenda
2 - Action Items
3 - Committee Reports
...
8 - Other Business
1st attempt: I go to Modify Shared Web Part -> Edit the Current View, and sort by Name (linked to document); I have no second sort. The result is a sort first by Type (showing all the folders first) and then by Name.
2nd attempt I sort first by Type (descending so that the Word documents list first) and then by Name. The result is the same as first attempt's result. (No change!)
3rd attempt, I created a new column called Sort Order. But the new column only applies to the Word documents, not the folders, so that's not a solution either.
What am I missing? (The 1st attempt solution worked just fine in Sharepoint 2.)
Appreciate your help!
