Barry is the man.

I went ahead and upvoted the Box Pulse idea and shared Barry's idea on that forum as well. Box should prioritize this feature. Low effort, high impact.

Thanks,

Shame on Box for not providing this very basic feature, though...

Hi all,

I'm wracking my brain trying to find the sort order you speak off. Can't find it anywhere. Can someone please help! Many thanks :))

Here's Barry's comment from p1:

ok , a bit random , but if you navigate to "All Files" or where you start when you initially login , and set the sort order there  , it will "sticks" when you navigate to other pages.

...to set the sort order click on 'Name' at the top of your list of files/folders and it will sort alphabetically.  I've found this stays for some time (a few days to a couple weeks usually) and eventually goes back to sort by date, but then I just go back to All Files page and resort by name and I'm good for a while longer.

Box needs to hire Barry. But seriously, having a saved view is essential in a service such as this.

Our company has decided to move away from Box now.

Unbelievable. It's been 2 years and there's still not an option to save your sort preference? It sucks I have to organize the folders each time go into a new folder. It's like a completely random sort for no reason??
