Shared by me - No Sorting Options?
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
Hi Catherine Feldman Thanks for your speedy response and I appreciate your honesty in terms of not having a definite ETA for the fix.
It would be very difficult to know even approximate number of files shared due to GDPR but I would hazard a guess that it would be hundreds on a daily basis. Having sort/filter functionality for Shared by me, and even an A-Z Name sort capability would be really helpful, as I would use Shared by me to open documents too.
Again, I really appreciate you taking the time to come back to me and will eagerly await the fix implementation (in the near future hopefully!).
Kind regards
Ann

Why is this still not fixed? We have the same functionality when it comes to files shared with me. So I am certain that an implementation is not a big deal. Can you Catherine Feldman or StephenRice give us an update on this? Thank you.

It's been 6 months since my last post on this topic, and still no sorting options for "Shared by me" files in OneDrive. Is this still on Microsoft's radar? It would be very useful. It seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to implement as this feature is already available on the "Share with me" section.
Thanks!

Hi Kurt (kcsmith88 ) - Thanks for piling on with the feedback. We agree this makes sense to have as functionality in this view and have it on our radar. If you have other feedback to share about either Shared By Me or Shared With Me please do let us know and we will take it all into consideration.
Cheers,
Catherine

It looks like lots of people are very patiently waiting for some "Shared by Me" sorting options. I'd like to add to the wish list. It would be great if I could search by "to whom shared". This isn't exactly a sorting option, but in a way it is. It's more of a filter. I'd like to see every file and folder that I've shared to a particular person. I'm sure others would value this feature as well.
Thank you for considering this.
