A Little Pet Peeve with FINDER

Here's the story:

I open a FINDER window which contains several dozen folders.

I then double-click on the folder of choice - let's say Folder #55 - to open it and see its contents in the same window. No problem.

HOWEVER, when I use the "back arrow" in the upper left hand corner of the window to leave the "contents" to return to its original folder (#55), I am taken back to the top of the rows of folders (i.e. back to Folder #1's position). Then I have to scroll all the way down again to get to the next folder I want to look inside (e.g. #56).

So . . . is there any way that I can return to the previous folder position where I left off (i.e. Folder #55) in the window rather than to the top of the window at Folder #1 - I mean, other than using a second window (side by side) when I want to see a folder's contents?

Not a big deal . . . but sure can be annoying at times. mad

What kind of view are these Finder windows being opened in? I don't experience the issue you describe in either List view or Icon view. I'm running Yosemite.
