Shared by me - No Sorting Options?
Absolutely agree - great to see the feature appear. Really miss ways of adding structure to the list, such as sorting. But how about showing it in, well, folders... you know, the same way it is displayed under Files. Right now it only says the folder that the shared item is placed in, but what if that is a subfolder of a subfolder? Then it becomes more difficult to get an overview of things...
Shared by me and Shared with me kind of "share" the same problem, namely that things are really just presented in long lists and there are no ways for the users to structure those things by themselves. We're having conversations with users who really miss this and are choosing to go with a competing product instead.

Hi all,
Glad to hear you're all enjoying the new Shared By Me view! We've definitely heard the feedback around filtering & sorting and it's something we're thinking about. Thanks!

- Glad to hear it! Just to be clear, I am pretty sure our users would still not be content if only sorting/filtering of the existing list was implemented. They are already miffed by the "Shared with me" list and not being able to structure it the way they want. Anyway, I will stop now, I think you get it :) Thanks again.

So long as you don't repeat yourself, feedback is always welcome ;) We can't always get everything that gets asked of us but direct feedback via forums and UserVoice are all things that we factor into our designs and prioritization discussions. Thanks!

Found this discussion....but I see that nothing's been changed...
We're encouraged to share files with our colleagues, but it's almost not worth it when I can't locate the file. Why can't the "shared by me" list be sorted by date?
@Stephen Rice : Please confirm if the "shared by me" list can be sorted by "date of sharing"? If yes, please share the steps.

Hi 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!
