    Win 11 Explorer group by day/month instead of "a long time ago"


    Hey there, I have done some searching but not found a way to continue the grouping by date for older files in Explorer. All older files are grouped as "a long time ago". For ordering images in a personal archive this makes the structure a lot less neat. I wonder why something so basic is not obviously integrated into Explorer. Anyone have ideas or information to this?Basically my question is exactly that: https://superuser.com/questions/1355122/group-by-date-or-month-or-instead-of-a-long-time-ago-in-explorer-on-windCheers!

    Group by date (or month or ...) instead of "A long time ago" in explorer on windows 10

    There seems to be no recent, current and clear answer to the simple question:

    How can I FIX* the group by feature in the explorer in windows 10 so that it is actually grouped by time units in usable form?

    Current result:

    • Yesterday
    • Earlier this week
    • A long time ago

    Targeted result:

    • 2018 August
    • 2018 July
    • ...

    Or:

    • 2018.05.07
    • 2018.05.06
    • ...

    *I'm having a hard time believing that there is no obvious option, first and foremost because it is absolutely useless for doing actual work.

    And just in case:

    Did you google it? Yes:

    • "Not possible" related to older Windows versions
    • "Use the arrange by ... " related to the pictures library

    why is it saying long time ago in tnhe file explorer

    this hurts so much when the file explorer say long time ago and dont mean it like do you think 1 year is long time ago windows ??

    this future makes me go back to windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 or anything else because i dont wanna live in this file explorer lie which is called long time ago please remove it or make it (real) like one year ago or 2 years ago

    because long time ago means 6 8 years ago not 1 year it is not even one year it is like 8 months 8 months long time ago ****??

    File views, Group by date not very helpful: YESTERDAY and LONG TIME AGO .. that's it?: So, end of the year. Go go and look at some files over the course of the year and ask for a view that is GROUPED BY DATE. This is what you get for a year's worth of data: 1. TODAY 2. A LONG TIME AGO OK.
