Finder sorts with Folders on top
So there’s actually a way to put the folders on top when sorting in finder Mac OS X. Pretty easy too.
- Just go to this folder /System/Library/CoreServices/ , then “Show Package Contents” of Finder app.
- Open the file Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings in any text editor as administrator.
- Navigate to line which says “Folder” = “Folder”;.
- Simply add an empty space or a symbol (such as “.” or “~”) in front of the second “Folder”.
- Save it and relaunch Finder by holding in the ALT or OPTION key and right clicking on the Finder icon in Dock, then selecting Relaunch.
- Now every time you sort based on “Kind”, the folders will be shown on top. ^^
Got it from here.
