You're forgetting that whatever view you choose in explorer, the items
*always* are sorted in some kind. And when the explorer refreshes a
view, it reads the contents of the folder from disk, which is 'sorted'
in the order the items were created (FindFirstFile/FindNextFile).
So it *does* change the order the items are shown - only you don't
notice it (it does that internally until those items could be sorted).
