It used to be that way but now I have all the icons in alphabetical order, followed by all the folders in alphabetical order. I don't know if I accidentally executed a keystroke that caused the new arrangement but I'd sure be happier to get to a single alphabetical sort. Edit: As Rosanna Rosannadanna used to say: "Never mind". Right-clicking on the folder gave me sort options. "By name" got what I wanted.

On a Mac since 1984. Currently: 24" M1 iMac, M2 Pro Mac mini with 27" BenQ monitor, M2 Macbook Air, MacOS 14.x; iPhones, iPods (yes, still) and iPads.
