Windows 10: Group By Date in Folders as the Default

This is my formal complaint about the awful default setting to group by date in folders.


It is seriously just a less useful and more annoying way to sort by column.

Why in the world would I want to default be sorted and group by date? What does that accomplish? Other than making navigation more clunky, anyway.

And the fact that the Save As and Attach explorer windows don't even follow the standard Folder View settings is crazy.


It's a bad feature and it should be default disabled.

how can i add and fix to sort ( date modified ) by default

Hi,

Apologies for that please follow the below for setting Date Modified to appear in folders as default.

On your desktop, click the Windows Explorer icon to launch it or press Windows key + E.

Navigate to any folder of your choice whose files you want to degroup.

Click “View” at the top left to access the View tab.

In the View tab in the Current View group, click the Group By dropdown arrow to reveal a list of selectable attributes.

Select “Date Modified” from the list.

Step 2:

Click on View in Explorer ribbon > Options > Change folder and search options to bring up the Folder Options properties.

Step 3:

Switch to the View tab.

Step 4:

Click Apply to Folders button, followed by Yes.

Step 5:

Click Apply > OK.

Let me know the status after performing the above.
