......what you want to do: Have a sort apply to all subfolders, is
very easy to accomplish.
Here's how:
1.) Open Windows Explorer to parent folder of child folders you want
sorted.
2.) Sort on desired field by clicking on column header of desired
field. This is a toggle action. It causes all selected entries in a
column to be sorted Ascending or Descending with each click on the
column header.
3) Click on "Edit--Select All" (or select all files and/or folders
you want sorted using Ctrl + Click on each entry)
4) Next, click on "Organize"
5) Then click on "Folder and Search Options" from the pull down menu.
6) Click on "Apply to all folders".
7) You will be asked to confirm this. Click "Yes", then "OK"
8) Auto-magically, all selected subfolders will be sorted the same way
until resorted by the user. The sort will be done in such a way that
each sub-folder as well as its subfolders and individual files will be
sorted the same way.

Donald, you're a genius! Thank you so much. It's stupid that this
function isn't easier with a right click and 'apply to all folders'
option, but your idea isn't difficult at all and in about 4 minutes,
I've managed to make this apply to all of my folders and subfolders, so
thanks once again.

Thanks. These things are easy to do once you figure out how
Microsoft wants it done. I'm not much of a genius, however. Just an
average Joe who has too much time on his hands.
Some people spend their time at the Bar drinking all night. I spend
it at my keyboard all night. Saves money, fer shure...
