This happened just a few days ago and I have no idea what caused it or how to undo it. Whenever I have to use a Open or Save File dialog box in windows, it shows my program listed backwards. On my desktop they are all in the right order but whenever I'm in one of those dialog boxes everything is reversed. It's driving me crazy, if someone can show me how to switch it back I'll be super happy!!!

Few, I found a fix, this can be closed and moved.

And if anyone has this problem, you open a open or save dialog box, arrange it by name, and hold Ctrl while clicking the X on the dialog box, it takes a while to quit but then when you re-open a dialog box it works!
