I've been a long time PC user and am encountering some frustrations with how OS X lists files.
When I try to open, say an Excel file and indicate I only want to open Excel files, why does it show all file types with the Excel files only highlighted? That then means I have to scroll down through every file in the folder to find the specific Excel file I want - I don't want to see all of the files in the folder, only the Excel files.
Worse, I don't see any way to sort only the Excel files by date.
In Windows, when I select "Open" in Excel, it only lists Excel files and provides the capability to sort the Excel files by date, size, etc. Also, you can preview any Office file prior to opening it, which allows you to see the actual file.
This is very frustrating.
Am I going about this the wrong way?
