in Finder directories first
hi All,
must be simple, but for the life of me i cannot find how to do it. i really like to see the sub-directories (folders) of a directory at the top and the files below that when i open a directory in Finder. how does one do this? nothing in Preferences that seems anything like it.
cheers,
arno.

Sort the list by Kind. All the folders will sort together. This only works in List View. To sort, click on the column header of the "Kind" column. If the folders go to the bottom, click it again to reverse the sort order.
Note: you cannot change the order in Column View. It is always alphabetical by Name.
OpenOffice or Neoffice it does that when you Open/Save.
any suggestions?

As far as I know you can't change that in OS X. One of the Finder substitutes may allow that.

But I have also read that some people simply put a space before their folder names. This sorts them directly to the top. But I don't think it's too windows friendly.
