Group By Type - The [username] Folder

for some reason, the group by [type] option does not work for me in the
Personal Folder, the folder that has your username, and contains folders
like: Music, Pictures, Favorites etc. does anyone know how to fix this? this
is a very nice feature, as it organizes all the files in the folder under
groups.

I had to add 'type' via the choose details option, I assume you did the
same. While 'Group by Type' doesn't seem to work from the menu bar (I'd
call that a bug), it does work if you click the drop arrow that appears when
you hover the mouse over the 'Type' header in the explorer window and
select 'Group'.
