why are my folders arranged by modification date?

[Commasterharry]

when i open up a load menu in any application (like winamp, word, or any app. that allows me to view content on my computer, they're always displayed by date modified. each time i rearrange by name (alphabetically), but when i close it and open it again, its sorted by modification date again......what evil! can someone plz help me with this annoyance? thanks

is it that way in windows explorer too? or just the little file open dialogue box?

[Commasterharry]

nope! in windows explorer all the folders on the left side are sorted by alphabet, but if i click on a folder that has stuff in it, the content shown on the right side aren't:(
