    Quick Acces - sort by Date Accessed?


    My Quick Access folder suddenly sorts all files by Type and Name as second criterium, grouped per week. This is a really strange set-up, and a useless one for that.I want it to sort by Date Accessed again, but can't seem to figure out how. If I go to the View panel, the option to 'Sort By' is greyed out. Does anyone have an idea how to see the most recently accessed file on top of the list again? I'm using Windows 10 Home.

    :)

  2. Quick Access bar

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty.

    Remove items from Quick access.

    I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

    • Right click on the file or folder.
    • Select the option “unpin from the quick access”


    To pin items to an item already on the quick access bar.

    Follow the below steps.

    I would suggest you to create folder in the desktop screen & place all the files or folder which need to pin to the quick access.

    • Open the quick access.
    • Select the Desktop option.
    • Right click on the folder & select the option “pin to quick access”


    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thank you.

    Can't we sort Quick Access items?

    In File Explorer, I want the items appearing under Quick Access to be sorted alphabetically. However, "sort" is grayed out.

    Further down the list in the sidebar, items under "This PC" can be sorted. Why in the world is this not possible for Quick Access?
