Microsoft Team - Default Folder/File Sort

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

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

Still an issue last I checked. No clue on timing.

    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.

        No you are talking about the files that are held in the 'Files' entry on Teams.

        If you link to a SharePoint Document library via  a Team then you can go straight to your folders and files held there and they appear in last updated order and you cannot change this to alphabetic order.

        It is really annoying and frankly a basic option surely ??
