What special character do you use to have a file sorted at the top?

<< < (7/7)

superboyac:
I put square brackets around the names of shortcuts I want to appear at the top of the file list directly under the folders.

I like this also.  Very clean AND symmetrical!

LittlestMac:
Depending on what I'm doing, I use an exclamation point (majority of the time) or a tilde.  Some file managers don't sort the tilde to the top but (almost?) all sort the exclamation point to the top.

I also use the exclamation point, as it has an ASCII value of 0021. That puts it at the absolute top. The next legal character is the "#" character, which has a value of 0023. These are the workhorses of my file organization.

kenpmason:
I use curly braces to sort to the bottom, that is: { }

I use the @ to put my quick-access stuff at the top of any list.
I use zz to put things at the bottom that I need to access only once in awhile and want to keep those items out of the way of those I use more often--especially helpful for my contacts lists.
