Edited because I am a moron.
It is simple to sort with folders at the top, Finder/Preferences and its right there.
Sorry.

Yes, it is the only real problem I have with El Capitan, I used to run a 3rd party utility to do this and when I moved to El Capitan it no longer worked. Glad to see that this is being addressed.
Agreed. I only started using Mac OS X back in 2014, so I am pretty new to it still, but there are a few things that piss me off, like the sorting of files and folders in Finder, or cut/copy and paste which should be a simple feature, or switching between windows, the alt tab and alt ~ is fine, but it makes it hard to get things done when working with several spreadsheets or application windows. So it is a pain sometimes.Yes, it is the only real problem I have with El Capitan, I used to run a 3rd party utility to do this and when I moved to El Capitan it no longer worked.

I know people will always say, it is the default, get used to it, well daily I work with a number of operating systems including Windows, Linux (many different versions), Solaris plus a couple of legacy environments and for all of these systems they can default to this pattern, for me consistency is more important than just adapting for one platform.

The bonus is the loading time of apps and just the general stability.
Thanks, I already know that, I just mean that if you can't copy and paste a file from Finder into an email as an attachment, and very often copy and paste doesn't work properly in excel. Although I realise these may be more MS issues than MacYou can cut and paste on a Mac, you just need to use a different key combination when you paste.
Copy and Paste
Command + C → Command + V
Cut and Paste
Command + C → Alt + Command + V

Its quicker to use the keyboard shortcuts than dragging and dropping. Although, I will have to give the drag to mail one a try. I know you can drag into the email window, but will check out dragging to the mail icon in the taskbar.Why bother hitting key commands... just drag the file from the Finder into the email window (or onto the Mail icon in the dock if you want to create a new email).
