I'm using a macbook and am trying to rearrange some films in a particular order on my external hard drive. However when I eject it and then check the folders, they go back into the original order. I've set it to sort by 'none' but doesn't seem to make a difference.

they aren't in alphabetical order, i have tried to sort by name and clean by name which puts them in alphabetical order but after ejecting and connecting the hard drive, the order reverts back to the original order.

I haven't come across this, but I suspect that you would need to name and sort them on your computer, not the external.
I have mine set to none in Finder > View > Show View Options: none. Yet, in column view (which is what I use), yet they automatically show up in alphabetical order:
The default is to store in alphabetical order, so simply rename them. Also, if you put a number in front of the file name, that file will show up at the top (in column view) and a '0' will show up before a '1'.
great, i've rearranged on my mac and this has worked!
Great to hear it worked!
