how do I make it so that when I open a folder, it lists the files by date all the time?

Here's what I've did already

1. arranged my files in detail and arranged them by date with most recent on top
2. went to folder options, chose "Like Curretn Folder"

I thought that was going to do, but it didn't work out, what is wrong here?

Funny thing is, before I re-installed windows, the settings were stuck so that it always sorted by date instead of name. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't change it.

Windows 98 is one fvvvvvvvvvvvcked up OS.

so you clicked on the modified collum to indicate to sort by date (you'll see the small arrow), did all your settings then went to folder options, chose "Like Curretn Folder" applied it closed it re-opened and still nogo?
