Shared by me - No Sorting Options?
Really excited to see the much awaited Shared By Me in OneDrive for Business. We definitely see the benefits and will use this in our continued effort to educate users on why they should share a docu...

Please confirm if the "shared by me" list can be sorted by "date of sharing"? If yes, please share the steps.

Jul 22, 2019Hi sarfraz536,
There is no sorting/filtering in Shared By Me today but this is certainly a request we have heard and are looking at. I'll make sure to pass this along as well :) Thanks!

It's now August 2019 and I've gone seeking a solution to the sorting/filtering dilemma for Shared by me...still nothing...nearly 1.5 years later since StephenRice first reply on 13.03.18 to Rob Bowman initial query and subsequent comments. On 19.05.19 another SP user njgyomtov and sarfraz536 noted that nothing has changed and again on 22.07.19 asking for a response.
Totally appreciate that it takes time and resources to make changes to a program. And I also understand the concept of prioritisation...but this is a fundamental request...why can't the configuration be set up in the same way as Shared with me or any other list capabilities in SP?
Its a total pain in the posterior in terms of locating items I've shared but hey, it's a third world problem and it's not the end of the world, it would just make things a lot easier.
Look forward to hearing an ETA on a fix for this one.
Thanks for reading.

Hi Annie02,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on this experience. We are actively working on adding sort functionality to Shared By Me and hear your need to be able to sort this view. We don't have an exact ETA for it currently, but know that we are actively working to improve the view to support sorting.
How many files do your users share on average? Any other considerations as we are working to improve this experience?
Cheers,
Catherine
