How to sort folder first for Finder in macOS

Finder, by default, lists directory contents alphabetically regardless of whether it is a file or a folder. It could be unclear for some, especially if you're coming from Windows or Linux environment where folders are listed first before files.

Finder can, however, be configured to list folder first from its preferences options.

1. Open Finder preferences from the menu.
   
2. Click on the the Advanced tab.
3. Check the Keep folders on top when sorting by name box.
4. Finder will now lists folders before files.
