When I go to save or upload a file, the menu is backwards, how do I get it back to alphabetical order?

So when I save or upload a file, it's in reverse-alphabetical order. I can't seem to get it to switch back, and I'm pretty sure I didn't change any settings that would cause this. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advace

Not sure, it looks like a Windows tweak. The file open dialog box is a Windows feature. Does this happen on other programs?? You can try to click the last icon on top, change the view to Details, click the Name header, then the Type column header until File Folder comes on top alphabetically.

Here's a good example, the folders are on the right, and both files and folders are in reverse-alphabetical order.

It only happens in Firefox, but that did solve it. Thanks!
