I have solved my Windows 8.1 problem. Several of you suggested that I check the sort options under the view menu and make sure that ascending was checked, but the sort options would not show up until I opened file explorer with the windows E shortcut.
I finally figured out that when I was trying to bring up the view menu, I was accidentally selecting a file with the touch pad on my laptop. Once I got the sort options to show up, sure enough, descending was checked and when I changed it back to ascending, the shortcut to my favorites folder now read in ascending order again. I decided to purchase a wireless mouse and turned off the mouse but left the dongle plugged in to a U S B port which is the only thing that will disable the touch pad on this laptop.

If I look at the favorites folder in my users folder everything is ok and the entries are in ascending order. I've saved a shortcut to that favorites folder on the desktop and suddenly tonight that favorites shortcut started showing me the entries in descending order. I even deleted the shortcut and recreated it, but the same thing happened again. Any ideas anyone, or better yet, how can I fix it?
