Figma’s file browser always resets the sorting to Last modified, even after I select Alphabetical. This happens when I refresh the page, reopen Figma, or navigate between folders.
This makes it difficult to create and maintain an intentional folder structure. For example, our folders are numbered to communicate a clear hierarchy:
01 Websites
02 Campaigns
03 Pitch decks
04 Brainstorms
This structure only works when the folders are displayed alphabetically. When Figma automatically switches back to “Last modified,” the order changes whenever somebody edits something, and the carefully designed structure is lost.
Please either:
-
Remember the user’s most recently selected sorting option, or
-
Add a setting that lets users choose a default sorting method.
Ideally, the preference could be saved globally or individually for each folder, since different contexts may benefit from different sorting methods.
