Windows groups the icons by the sort order (here by type).

INTRODUCTION

New with Windows XP is the capability to group icons. The grouping depends on how the items are sorted. If you sort by name, the contents of a window are grouped alphabetically. If you sort by type, the contents are grouped by type. Therefore, sort first and then group. You can group in any view.

TIP

Undo the Groups

To undo the groups, select View, Arrange Icons by, Show in Groups again to remove the checkmark.
