"Sort by" does not retain the selection.

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

Please fix this, it is an unnecessary waste of time and energy when searching for files every single time.

Same issue here.

I prefer my projects to sort in order of date created. I often have to reapply my filter because the project sorting resets to last modified. This happens numerous times per week and typically when I start my day in Figma.

It’s also inconvenient because I notice that the sorting has reset after I begin scrolling to look for a specific project and then realize that my projects are in a different order, so I scroll back up and change my sorting back to date created. Then I try looking again so that I can locate the file in my projects.

+1 This needs to be fixed. It used to work properly. Now I have to click it several times a day! Why are you making me do this?

Dear Figma Team

When I set sorting to Alphabetical in Drafts, it works correctly.
However, when I navigate to another page (for example: Projects or Recents) and then return to Drafts, the sorting automatically resets to Last modified.

Expected behavior:
The selected sorting option (Alphabetical) should remain persistent across navigation and sessions.

Current behavior:
Sorting preference resets to “Last modified” after switching views or refreshing.

Oh noble team at Figma fair,

Within your tidy Projects lair,

I sort A–Z with careful click,

A simple choice, precise and quick.

But when I leave and then return,

My chosen order starts to burn—

For lo, it’s flipped without consent

To “Last Modified” — heaven-sent?

I crave consistency, not surprise;

Let alphabetic order rise.

Pray save my sort, I humbly plead—

And calm this mildly maddening need.

For a while this was working, but it seems to have reverted again and is once again constantly resorting by last modified despite repeatedly setting it to sort by date created.
