Hi Figma team,

I’d like Figma to remember my preferred file sorting option.

Every time I open the Figma Desktop App, the file browser resets to Last modified, even though I always use Alphabetical.

For designers working with large projects and design systems, alphabetical sorting is essential. Having to manually switch the sorting back to Alphabetical every time creates unnecessary friction and slows down navigation.

Suggested improvements:

  • Remember the selected file sorting option across sessions.
  • Sync this preference across devices (optional).
  • Or provide a Default file sorting setting in Preferences.

Environment:

  • macOS
  • Figma Desktop App

This is a small UX improvement, but it would noticeably improve everyday navigation and productivity for users managing many design files.

Thank you!
