defaulting arrange files by name

Question

When I go to view my files they are not defaulted to stay arranged by name. They're backwards so it starts with Z and then to A. But this is only happening when I am browing in a smaller window to either upload a picture to the internet or open a file for say, a picture editing program. It does not occur when I am looking through My Pictures or My Documents off the internet and directly on my desktop.   I know I can right click and arrange it by name to fix this but I need it to stay defaulted, so I don't have to do that each and every time. It randomly started messing up over a month ago for no apparent reason. I'd really like to find a way to fix this so that I don't have to reformat my computer.   Does anyone know what I mean?

Put the files in a detail list view and they will be listed in alphabetical order except your as Z to A.  Look in the title bar for the name column and click in there and the list will reverse itself.

thank you, it worked...though it's not keeping it defaulted to do that each time I open it.
