Use ‘Date Modified’ Sorting to Simplify File Selection Hassle-Free PC By Rick Broida, May 26, 2009 4:29 pm PDT ...

I tried sorting by Date Created but some of the files weren’t created recently so they don’t appear at the top of the list. Is there any way to sort files by the date they were added?

Sort your downloads folder by date to solve this problem. This isn't something everyone will need, but it's something I've found immensely useful lately.

OneDrive lets you manually rearrange files to create a specific sort order across devices. In the top right corner, click on Sort by: and from the drop-down menu select Rearrange.

In a downloads folder, for instance, I have Sort By set to descending chronology (oldest files first) using Date Added, and then Arrange By Set to Name.
