Just to let you know how very important your tips for both List and Column are to a non-Pro like me.

In the drop down options for viewing files (in both List View and Column View) you explain the difference between ‘by Name’ and ‘None’ please? It seems to me to me that ‘None’ is also an alphabetical listing of the contents. Have I missed something here?
ntb: You can sort by Name, but there is no option to sort by None. That is a grouping option. You can group by None (grouping off) and you can group by Name.
