I found the issue.  When choose how you see the folders and files - list, icon, etc it had changed to icons. I put it back to list.  Then the column to the right had a check for how they are listed.  It was checked by date and I switched it back to none.  Problem solved!  I'll never know how it changed but now its fixed.  Thank you so much for your assistance.
