change sort order search results?

When I search in Mountain Lion I get a list of results, for instance documents that contain the word "serial"

see the attached screenshot.


The searchresults are ordered by name.

Only problem is the last result (starting with a Z) comes first.

I want the results starting with an A to show first.

In Lion you could reverse the sort order by clicking in the top bar (which says "Name" or "Naam" in my screenshot) but here that does not work.

What am I missing?


Thanks

Change the item arrangement to 'None'

And then you'll be able to reverse the sort order

Thanks Martin, that did it.


(Still I can see no reason in it, but hey...)


I found somemore info in another thread on this forum:


I just did some checking. Apparently, the current sort order becomes the default if you choose a different Arrange by value, and you can't change that unless you select Arrange by ->None. Interesting
