OpenFileDialog -- file display order?

In the OpenFileDialog, there is a way to choose the order, in which files are displayed. It's the "View Menu", and my particular need at the moment is the "Details" option, Sort By Date.

Is there any way to convince the OpenFileDialog control to come up in this configuration Or, at least, in the "Details" display mode Mine always comes up in the "List" mode.

Thanks!

    There's no stored setting for this (as in for all file dialogs), and there isn't a reliable programmatic way to set the lists settings to be anything in particular.

    You could try using the SendKeys class; but, my guess is there would be some work involved to make that work with all flavours of Windows. Plus, it would be noticable by users.
