Thanks, Barry
It works fine and great  in my view when I'm logged in to my account, But, when I'm sharing the link with the public, the folders will be in different order

It's annoying, frustrating and embarrassing to me with others

The workaround is to add this to the link: (?sortColumn=name&sortDirection=ASC)

This is absolutely absurd. I might end up cancelling my account for this reason. I'm trying to use box as a data room and this comes off very unprofessional.

When you define a sorting order in your All Files window, Box applies that sorting order as the default sorting order in all your Box windows.

Actually there is, but I do not know of how to get back to it off hand. Mine typically stayed sorted in alphabetical order but once there are more users in the forum, it messes up personal settings. Now I can fnot find how I had it set up prior to another coworker being primary in our shared Box :-(.
