Sort Every Folder and every File by Date Created - Ascending

[dellboy__]

Hi
I have many hard drives with Photos and videos, instead of manually selecting the column and sorting the order for every folder individually.

Is there a one time setting I could use on my hard drives to have files sorted by Date Created?

Thank you

Folder view options have that "Apply to folders" button on view tab. Which should apply current folders selected sorting order/view mode to ALL similar folders.
Downside is, it applies it to all folders that windows thinks are same (content wise)
For my own use, there seems to be a lot of randomness involved in that decision and any new folder created, will not remember said "default" settings.

Edit:
Also right click the drive, go to customize and select "optimize this folder for" and check the apply to all subfolders.
That should make all subfolders same type as the drive's main one, allowing you to kind of set it all at once.

After that, go through the sorting and folder options "Apply to folders" and whole drive should be sorted as you want, until you create new folders and windows decides that... "I don't like your sorting, I'll use what I want"

in my case, I like details view and windows likes big icons or thumbnails, depending on what the folder contents are.
It might work for you to some extent until someone tells of a better way.
