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...
Does anyone know where this discussion got to? It appears that in the midst of Covid-19 its been forgotten. Does Caroline Feldman have anything for us, as this have been a non evolving situation for some years?
As a small business, keeping track of shares is a fundamental need and there to be able to sort what has been shared into an order is a major component of that process. Sadly file name or location by themselves aren't hugely beneficial because each client would have their facsimile file structure and facsimile file name for the same core correspondence. To create a root preference to sort by would be an enhancement when and if we finally get the ability to sort.

- You're probably right in that this has gotten prioritized down. It may seem strange, as it's right there under "Share with me", but they probably wanted to focus on making Teams more competitive under the COVID-19 pandemic, which makes sense.
It's too bad that we just need maybe a year of focus on making quality-of-life changes to SharePoint/Teams file handling in order to make it truly competitive with file explorer for file management and sharing, but we keep missing out, since the focus seems to be more on things like Viva, Mesh, Power Platform, etc. I get why they go that way, I'm just lamenting that we end up having to spend time helping our users with things that we shouldn't have to.- Thanks prioritised down means downgraded or demoted.
Now nearly 3 years on and still no update on Shared by me sorting options.
As this is already available in the Shared with me view, is this not something which could be sorted now relatively quickly and easily?
Alternatively, could site administrators be empowered to update this themselves?
