File names; OS9 vs OSX

[pcmodem]

In OS9 I was able to put a bullet (Option + 8) to get a folder or file to move to the bottom of the list. There were also several other characters which would allow this to happen.

In OSX everything moves to the top. Does anyone know of a character which moves the file or folder to the bottom of the list?

Thanks,

"Z" :lol:

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Funny :lol:

But if you have file names with a Z they can get mixed up. Granted you could do ZZZZZ.

Control the Finder?s File-Name Sort Order
Before OS X, the tricks for controlling the Finder?s file-name sort order were pretty simple. For instance, if you added a tilde (~) to the beginning of a file name, that file would move to the bottom of list-view Finder windows. Adding a space or an underscore would move the file to the top of a list.

In OS X, the rules have changed. The characters that moved files to the bottom of a list in OS 9 now move files to the top of a list. What can you do if you want a certain file or group of files to appear at the bottom of a list-view window? If you?re using OS X 10.3, you could use the Labels feature to assign a color label to each file, and then sort by label. But there?s another way to go: you can use one of three Greek letters?mu (option-M), pi (option-P), or omega (option-Z)?or the Apple-logo character (shift-option-K) to force that file to the end of the list.


Hope that clears it up for ya.
