Having folders appear at the top level in Grid View
Answered
I have a hierarchical folder structure that often goes Main Folder>Sub Folder #1> Sub Folder #2> Sub Folder #3>Sub Folder #4 all nested within each other. When I got to the Main Folder in Grid View the first Sub Folder appears in the top row and I double click that and then the second sub-folder appears and the same for SubFolder 3. The breadcrumbs at the top of the window also correctly follow the nesting sequence. But once I get into the 3rd sub folder and double click that, all the images of that folder appear first int he grid and I have to scroll down to the bottom to find the next nested sub folder #4.
The same thing happens with fewer folder, too. Once I am into a folder that contains both images and another sub-folder, the sub folder appears at the end of the grid so I have to scroll through all the images to find it. Please note that in the finder, my sub-folders always start with a space so that they are at the top of the list in the Finder window (as per Mac protocol).
What gives? Is there any way that I can make it happen in Grid View that sub folders appear first int he grid, followed by single images to make navigating easier?

How about clicking the View Menu and selecting Sort Subfolders at the Top.

Jeez, Rick, I feel like such a numbskull. I looked around for options and didn't think to go there. You are such a profoundly helpful forum person. I wish I knew this program 10% of what you do. Thanks again.

Thanks William, but it's easy to just open the User Guide and do a search for whatever, which is what I do for 50% of my posts here! :)

I always check the User Guide before posting, but I fail in choosing the wrong search criteria, I think. "Folders" didn't reveal what I wanted nor did several other terms. Just need practice and more creative use of search criteria. Thanks again.
