How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

File column sort order

Make column sort order "sticky" so that if I prefer to sort my files by Name instead of Last Accessed, Team will remember my preference within a Team

    Still not fixed? Good lord...nearly 2 full years to implement a sort preference option...this IS a paid product you folks understand right? Its not freeware...

    Is there any update on this? This feature would make my life so much easier! Thanks :)

    there is no "sticky" in Win 7,

    this "sort by modification date" I have already selected or set about 15,000 times and every time I search for something, this setting is gone again,

    this is a complete disaster!
    The real horror.
    Incredible!

    Can we please get an update on this? We've been waiting for 2 years and this is a basic fundamental function that should always be included...

    Unbelievable that we can not set a VIEW to sort how we need, vs. how someone at MS was too lazy to do anything about.
    In MS Folder Exploring (WIN OS), you can set view object style (list, icon, large icon, etc.) and sort order. (Can even tweak a folder with all the settings you want and then APPLY TO ALL FOLDERS).
    So it is not like MS does not know how to offer and program those options.
    WTH ???

    Please consider looking into this. It is possible to edit the current view in Sharepoint, but the default sorting options set in Sharepoint do not apply to Teams. Everytime I access the files in a team I have to manually sort A-Z, it never works the first time, so I have to do it again. That's four mouse clicks to resort files which in any other program could be defined as a default setting in a set-and-forget manner. Will Microsoft sponsor a new mouse given all the wearing out this is causing mine? Joking ofc, but this cannot be a difficult feature to implement and would save a lot of time.

    Is it that complicated for Microsoft programmers to fix a simple sorting issue like this when you already have that sorting in regular folders since ages ? Working on since 2018 ?

  • Linda commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Is it STILL in the works almost 2 years later? It is annoying to set the sort order to alphabetical in SharePoint, only to have folders/files resort by last modified date in Teams.

    It would be great to have an update on this. Can someone from Microsoft provide more insight to why it's taken so long to implement this functionality? I'm not sure I understand why this isn't OOTB.

  • Donny Shimamoto commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I can't believe this hasn't been done yet. Why can't you just make the default view the All Documents view since we see that on the right side anyway? Then we can edit the sort and other options directly from Sharepoint and you don't have to actually build any functionality.

    Absolutely embarrassing that this is open for more than two years!!! Its really frustrating to use the File tab in Teams!
