Question

File sorting (Alphabetical/Date Created/Last Modified) choice should be persisent and remembered


Waldo

Figma has stopped remembering the file sorting preference: It now always defaults to ‘Last Modified’ at the beginning of session, no matter what your choice was. Can we have it back?

This is now default at the beginning of every session

I am these days having to open this dropdown ‘Sort By’ → Alphabetical 30 times a day. Last modified does not work for us since it shows us whole new set of files every time because how many people work and edit files daily; Alphabetical works better for us since we use numerical naming and then every file is correctly displayed in the intended order of product importance (home, registration, features, etc)

As April 22, 2025, this seems to have been fixed, at least in the web browser version.

Yesterday I changed it to Created, then quit and restart Figma and it may have fixed it. They did also push an update shortly after. Seems okay for now.
