Sort by date added to folder

Hi there, thanks for your question.

In File Explorer, all sorting options can be viewed by following these steps:

- Open the folder and right click inside of it, not on a file.

- Go to Sort by > More.

This brings up a list of all possibilities of what to sort by. It doesn't look like there's an options for "date added to folder", but one of the other Date options may help, such as Date Created. You could create a copy of the file and move it in, so that
the date created matches the date added to the folder?

Please let me know if you need more information! Thanks!

 

Sorting Files by Date Created Not Working Properly

I've been having issues trying to sort my video files by date modified. Even though they are all supposed to be in a single order, they all seem to be put in random spots when the sorting method is set to 'Date'.

The culprit may be when I look at the files' properties, under Details > Origin, the date for 'Media created' seems to be some random date.

I've heard recommendations saying to run a System File Check, but it either didn't work for me or I did something wrong. Any other suggestions?

 

Sorting with File Explorer.

I tried the method that was complicated (3rd option) but fell over in second step as I could not find any "apply to folder button"'.

However, the simple put *.* in search bar, then sort results windows by date does the trick. It is slightly cumbersome as I have to do that each time I am selecting files (to upload to sharepoint) but a lot less hassle than I was having to scroll up and down between sorted file block and sorted folder block.

Many thanks.
