Default List Alphabetically

When I want to open a *.doc file using Open in the File item on
Toolbar the files used to be listed in alphabetical order. I do not
know what I have done but now they are listed in date order. They
are still in alphabetical order in Windows Explorer. How can I
restore them to alphabetical order in the 'Open' window please.

Switch to Details view (if you're in some other) and click on the Name
column header.

Select Detail View and then click on the NAME column and they sort just like
Explorer.

Terry Suzanna, thanks. It's not very obvious and I could not find an
answer in help.
