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.
