    Maps Sorting Bug?

    When I open any of “My Guides” in Maps, “Sort by Distance” is already selected, but I have to tap it, then tap “Distance” to get it to sort properly every time. It doesn’t sort automatically by default, even with that sorting option selected. Is that expected behavior, or does it seem like a bug?

    Finder not sorting by date created

    Hi, For some reason, my finder window is not sorting my files by date created. It does sort them by date in terms of year, but that's all. for example in this one folder, all the files for 2014 are just in alphabetical order. Any ideas why this is? Thanks
