Hi everyone!

Box is sorting the files by Modified date, and I want to get the files and folders sorted by name as default. Otherwise, each time I enter to a folder, I need to sort them. Can you help me with this?

Thank you!

Regards

Hi there, 

Welcome to the Box Community! 

You can sort your files and folders by Name, Date Modified, and Size. Please refer to the article below:

Thanks!

Aira, The article that you linked did not answer the question about how to change the default. 

Barry Gould saved the day for me with this comment in another forum: if you navigate to "All Files" or where you start when you initially login, and set the sort order there, it stays that way when you navigate to other pages.
