In Snow Leopard, whenever in a folder and I want to arrange folders by Size, all it does is arrange it from Z-A instead of A-Z, so inversely alphabetically. Anyone have this problem and a fix?
 
Are the file sizes listed in the 'Size' column all dashes like "--"?

If so, with that window selected, go to 'View' in the menu bar, then at the bottom click on 'Show View Options'.

On that new panel, near the bottom is a checkbox for 'Calculate all sizes'. When you have that enabled, the sizes for folders will be displayed. This is off by default to speed things up.

Thank you! Worked!
