Order in the "open" menu ...

[Jens_R_B_Hansen@adobeforums.com]

When i open the "Open" menu (ctrl+o) the files and folders are not listed completely alphabetical.

It looks like it's alphabetical, but it's not.

The folders and files that were changed most recently are placed at the bottom.

How do I get the list completely alphabetical again?

On top of the Open window you'll see a gray row with Name, Size, Type... (if you do not see these, from the last icon on right, select Details.)
Click on the Name and you'll see an arrow pointing up (so the list is sorted...)

OR, (assuming your default view is 'sort by name'), just tap F5 to refresh.

Thanks for your tips!

Sometimes some (maybe all) versions of Windows seem to forget how you like your files sorted. If you open any windows folder (not in ID now), sort the files the way you like, then go to Tools > Folder Options > View > Apply to All Folders, the preferred sort should also show up in your file > open dialogs in ID and other programs.

That will save you from manually sorting the files in your open dialog each time.
