Arranging Folders by Month

$

I have folders like this:



I would like to have Windows chronologise my folders in the order that the months appear in the calendar (e.g. January, February, March, etc.) from top to bottom. The problem I am experiencing is due to the way Windows sorts. Although we recognize months by their name (Jan/Feb, etc), Windows only knows that F comes before J, so when these names are sorted, they are not in the expected order.

I don't want to use organize by last modified since it will only work until I put an item into an older folder.

Here are the possible workarounds I've come across:

Quote:

use a number at the beginning of the file name. The Jan and Feb folders might be:
01-Jan
02-Feb
Quote:

use the date in this order:
year_month, so the Jan & Feb 08 folders might be called:
08_01
08_02
Or, make new folders in the correct order then sort by date created.

I don't want to number them 1-12 unless it's the last resort. Nor do I want to use 3rd party software.

Any other ways?
