Win7 detail view problem

[Supakaiser]

I recently switched back to Windows 7 from Windows 8.1 after having issues with my most commonly played game and everything is going pretty great. However, I just noticed something I'm fairly certain wasn't an issue when I used Windows 7 previously (and I know wasn't an issue in Windows 8.1).



This may not seem like a big deal to some people, but it is a grand annoyance to someone like myself who relies on the type sort feature quite often to find and weed out certain file types here and there. As you can see in the image, the .txt file blends right in the mix with the .xml files so sorting by type is more like sorting by name.

Is there any way to fix it and if so, how? As I said, I'm 99% certain I didn't have this issue last time I used Windows 7 (and I used it for years).

Use file extension sort not type

Not seeing that as an option.

Thanks but no that isn't the solution. I already did that stuff when I reinstalled the Win 7 OS because I hate how win 7 handles media folders.

As far as I know, there's no way to sort by file extension in Windows 7.

Here's something that may or may not work in Windows 7 http://www.xrayz.co.uk/extension-column/

Here's something that you can use to browse through folders/files http://www.ghisler.com/ A sort by extension column is already there by default.
