With sort order based on name, turn off groups for a moment. How do the
objects list? If Z-A, go to Details view and click the name column to
reverse the list to A-Z.

If this behavior (Z-A) is consistent in all folders and dialog boxes, open
Explorer to the root drive (usually C. Using Details view, set the sort
order to A-Z. Then press Ctrl and click the X to close Explorer.
