Check sorting settings:
In Quad File Explorer, click the View tab at the top. Make sure the "Sort by" option is selected and select an appropriate sorting option, e.g. E.g. “Name”, “Date” or “Type”. This will automatically sort the files according to your chosen criteria.

Check view settings:
Go to the View tab and check the options under Layout and Group By. Make sure the Auto Arrange option is checked.

Change sort order:
Typically, files are sorted in ascending order (A to Z or oldest to newest). If you want to change the sort order, click the column header (e.g. "Name" or "Date") to toggle between ascending and descending order.
