I want it to sort by date by defalut but it always switches back to sort by name. I saved my settings but didn't see one specific to this? Thanks.

Everything 1.4 ?
If you click the Date Modified column, then Quit Everything, on restart it is not sorted by Date Modified?

Oh, there it is.
Check; Tools | Options | General -> Home --> Sort: Date Modified (Descending) + Apply

Everything will revert to sorting by an attribute that is already indexed. Otherwise sorting will be very slow.

To check if your date ... (modified/created/accessed) is indexed:
- Go to Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes
- Enable Index date ...
- Enable Fast date ... sort

Appreciate these replies. I seem to be getting back to the right way. I started to use a new large hard drive. Maybe that threw it off? It's ex-fat. I'll check it again tomorrow after restart. Thanks.
