    I'm afraid there's no way to achieve that AnneKC9YL, since folders usually appear either on top or the bottom depending on the way your content is sorted. 

     

    If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.

the second screenshot (with the Red heading) is a word doc/pdf that I compose, and that gets posted to Dropbox.  For my convenience, I CAPITALIZE the (sub)folders because again, it USED to be that folders and files were intermingled in alpha order. Everyone swears that the way it is now is the way it's always been, but I've been typing up the index for several years, and this is the first time that what I see doesn't match my index.  And I never had anyone tell me that my index didn't match the view on dropbox.  I am stymied.  Is there someway that I could have changed MY view on this end.  Windows 10 if that makes a difference.
