Hi,
"Joel's Portfolio utilities" for Acrobat 9 is no longer available, but…
Since it was embedded in my free abracadabraTools 3.1 for Acrobat 7, 8 and 9 you just have to download and install it:

Then, you will be able to set your Portfolios to open in "Details" mode (list).
See it in action: http://cl.ly/NYq8
