Show Files and Folders Sorted by name NOT Folders First then Files [duplicate]

Is there any way to make Windows Explorer list the Files and Folder together and not Folders First?

So Folders and Files are sorted together by file name:

Antelope[dir]
Antelope.txt
Badger[dir]
Badger.txt
....
Zebra[dir]
Zebra.doc

The short answer is no, there is not a way to do this in Windows Explorer.

The View | Group by | Name method given by ckhan is the closest you are going to get.


I don't think there's a way to do this cleanly if you want to keep stock explorer, but you can do it with xplorer2, which is a pretty solid replacement for explorer for powerusers. By default it sorts files and folders separately if you're sorting by name. However, if you sort by anything else (like modified date) it will comingle folders and files, which is usually exactly what I want. You can even have it calculate subfolder sizes (ctrl-d) and then sort by size and get a unified sorting of files and folders by size.
