[SOLVED] windows explorer sorting order

[kluchgts]

I'm trying to make a folder be at the very top of the list in a naming scheme that contains symbols. Which character(s) can I put at the beginning to make sure it stays at the very top of the list when sorting by name?

I usually use an exclamation mark (!) such as "! New Folder" for this purpose. If that doesn't work, then more information is needed (such as names of folders).

that worked, thanks! Other files were using characters like @ and [ or { or ( to begin. I always thought ! was one of those characters you couldn't use in a name.
