For some weird reason my Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS laptop is now showing files and folders in the following order:

  1. folder A
  2. file A
  3. folder B
  4. file B
  5. folder C
  6. file C

I'm pretty sure its always been folders first and then files and I'd really like it sorted that way. I've done a bit of searching but haven't found the answers. So what I'd like is

  1. folder A
  2. folder B
  3. folder C
  4. file A
  5. file B
  6. file C

Why has this changed and how can I reset it?

When using "Files" a.k.a Nautilus:

Go to Preferences -> Views and enable Sort folders before files:

Sort files before files
