Microsoft Team - Default Folder/File Sort

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

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

EricaG Hello Erica, vote on the request at Teams UserVoice to stay updated (and to push it up!)

  Hi Chris,
  I noticed the user voice for this topic indicates it was completed in August, though I'm still not able to save my default view on the document library sorted alphabetically and have that reflect in Teams. Do you have any updates on the issue? Am I missing something in the view settings for the document library?

    Just Set the view U want, click on All Documents (up, right), and save it under "Save view As" and leave it as "All Documents". It will stay that way until changed.
