    Hello, I know nothing about Macs at the moment (Windows user all my life). I bought a Mac Book Pro 5 days ago and I'm quite happy with it :)

    However I've noticed a strange behaviour with folders and files display. In windows the folders are displayed first and then the files. However in MAC the files are mixed with folders. Here is a screenshot of how they look (order by name):

    There should be first the folders and then the mp3, right?

    I think 2 days ago I didn't have this problem but I'm not sure. As I've said I'm new to MAC and there are many things new.

    Does somebody know how to fix this little problem?

    Thanks in advance :)
