Sort/Arrange All Files In Every Folder By Name

I finally figured out to how to solve this thanks to everyone in this thread.

GUIDE:

Follow these instructions by Paul Conaway:

Filip, under the view menu in the finder choose "Show View Options" select arrange by option and sort by option. There is a button at the very bottom of the window "Use as Defaults" click that. This should do what you want.

Then, follow these instructions by dialabrain:

Chances are you've opened some Finder windows in the past. Individual folder options will override this default setting that we just set.

In order reset your folder settings across the entire machine we have to delete all .DS_Store files. This will ensure that all folders start fresh. Open up the Terminal application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal), and type:

sudo find / -name .DS_Store -delete; killall Finder

You will then be prompted for your password. You won't see your password as you type, so type carefully. This may take a minute or two because it's going to search your entire computer for .DS_Store files.

Done!

Note:

In the future, whenever you switch views, it will automatically save in the new .DS_Store file. This will override the default settings.

Thanks buddy, but I need a quicker way of doing this since I want this to apply to every single folder one my Mac. I'm probably looking for a Terminal command/script that will do this automatically. Sorry for my bad explanation though!

The reason why this is important is because I’ve a folder containing 400+ folders with family photos inside of them. I recently transfered this folder from my old PC to my Mac and now everything is a mess. It would take me forever to fix this and I need a quicker way. Photos are literally laying on top of each other. Also, I would really appreciate if you didn’t diagnose other people in this community. You gotta understand that OCD is a very serious disorder that affect many peoples lives very negatively. You don’t just go around diagnosing people like that. Please get out of this thread since I and everybody else here has lost their respect for you.

Thank you, but unfortunately I'm unable to enter the command. I just receive an error message.

Please have a look at the attached screenshot below. ⬇️

Unfortunately this didn't apply to my existing folders...
