Feature request / UX issue: Persist folder sorting preference

Feature request / UX issue: Persist folder sorting preference

When I change the folder sorting from the default “Last modified” to “Alphabetical”, Figma immediately resets it when I enter a sub-folder — and again when I navigate back to the parent folder.

The selected sorting preference should persist throughout folder navigation, rather than reverting to “Last modified” at every level.

This is a small but surprisingly frustrating UX issue that seems like a relatively simple fix.

    I’m going to add a +1 to this. I’m spending more time trying to fix the sorting so I can find things than I am actually doing work sometimes. It’s a really time waster and extremely frustrating. I’m having a hard time getting others to use Figma over Claude Design for this because it’s so annoying.
