Microsoft Team - Default Folder/File Sort

Is it possible to change the automatic sort default from "last edited" to alphabetical order?

Yes - click on the "All Documents" in the top right of the Files view and select edit Current View. 

 

Find the sort option and select "Name(Linked to document edit menu)"

    This only temporarily works. Once you navigate off and back it goes back to modified.

    This is a known issue. No info on timeline or solution at this time but Microsoft is aware of the issue and unfortunately no way around it currently ;(

      Hi Chris. Just wondering if this is still an issue and if yes, does MS have any timing on when there will be a solution? ChrisWebbTech
