How can I sort Windows 7 control panel by columns, not rows
- by user26453
As best as I can tell the behavior of Windows 7's control panel is as follows: When Large Icons or Small Icons display modes are used, the icons are sorted alphabetically.
However they are ordered by row:
a b c d
e f g h
as opposed to what I usually expect in any file browser:
a d g
b e h
c f
Why is this the one part of Windows 7 that behaves this way and is there any way to change this behavior?
