Question

Can the sort options for projects default to last selected.

I typically like sorting by alphabetical, but it keeps defaulting to last modified. This is because we have multiple designers working from a project file, so last modified is not alway the last file I worked on. Alphabetical system works better for our team.

Ok Figma, I’m not sure how many complaints it is going to take for you to fix this, but this is a frustration of literally every user I know.

Within 5 minutes, I found 5 threads about this:

Apparently, “this was implemented after feedback from users who thought their files were missing due to filters or sort orders being enabled.” That’s tough to hear. You can’t solve a problem for novice users who somehow can’t seem to find the ‘Recents’ page at the very top of the menu, by taking away efficiencies of everyone else. This was a poor choice, we all know it, but you know there are extremely simple ways to allow both behaviors. So please make this right asap and stop unnecessarily frustrating most users.
