When renaming files in windows 7, prevent explorer from instantly resorting the list (and losing your place)

In windows explorer, as soon as you rename a file, the list reorders and your focus stays on the file you edited, which is now in a new place in the list.

file1.jpg   -->editing to z.jpg...file2.jpgfile3.jpgm.jpgx.jpg

jumps to

file2.jpgfile3.jpgm.jpgx.jpgz.jpg ---> selected here, which is useless.

If you rename file1 to z.jpg, the list will automatically resort and you’ll be at the bottom, and have to navigate back up to the ones which don’t have a name.  With many files, this is extremely annoying.

Is there a way to get windows to stop instantly sorting?

Solution:

Are you pressing enter ↵ to finish a rename? I know if you just hit tab, it will go to the next file on the list while the renamed file moves. Maybe you have something set, so I apologize if this doesn’t work for you.
