I have a button that has this code:

Set Sortby=MODIFIED SortReverse=Off

Is there any way to make it to where when I switch to a new folder, it reverts back to alphabetical sorting (which is the default used when DOpus is opened always until I click the button). Thanks.

An addition to the previous post:

I know I can add a button to click to change back to alphabetical, but I am looking for a way to make this happen automatically.

There isn't, at least not right now. This relates to the Changes to the Default Formats section of the [Folder Formats FAQ](https://resource.dopus.com/t/folder-formats-quick-guide/1313/1).

Darn. Too bad. Do you see this being added in the near future?
