File Sorting Resets to “Last Modified” After Refresh – Can Alphabetical Order Be Set as Default?

When I open my Figma project files, they are always sorted by “Last modified” by default. I can manually change the sorting to Alphabetical order using the dropdown in the top-right corner, but after refreshing the page or reopening Figma, the sorting resets back to Last modified

I’ve seen other people posting the same issue. I want to push this topic forward with sharing it again. Is it possible to fix it please dear Figma? :)

@Figma, it would be great if you let users permanently select the file sorting order. Please either remember the last selected option or let users set a default in the settings.

It is painfully stupid that one can’t change the default view. This is such a time waster.

Came here looking for this problem, adding my voice to the chorus of “please fix this.”

+1, this seems like an easy quality of life fix.
