You can do this in just about any program with a File, Open menu, or any folder you open manually in Windows Explorer.

My advice: Experiment with the sorting options, then see what works best for you. For years I'd scroll through alphabetical file listings until I found what I wanted (assuming I could still remember the file name by then), but sorting by "Date modified" eliminates the need (and the memory issues).

By the way, if you want to go in the opposite direction in , I wrote about that a while back.
