after months of wasting time by doing it each by each, I finally figured maybe there is a way to do all at the same time. You are a lifesaver

I used the tutorial in your website. Perfect.

[@mehdighasemi9106]

I wanna thank you bro I was confused how I'm gonna do that!
finally found your helpful video!

Strangely, when I try this on Windows 11, the folders and files are all mixed up, rather than having all of the folders first, which means I would have to go through and click them one by one. Maybe this happens when folders are inside folders containing files.
Edit: For anyone else who has this issue. Go to Sort at the top and then select "type". Then the folders will all move to the top and the files underneath.

Glad you got this sorted David. I should have mentioned this in video as some people have their folders sorted by date, etc.
