Choose "Sort By" default in OneDrive
Being able to change the default option for sorting folders by name, date, etc. yourself. Currently I have to go to each folder and choose how I want to sort the contents but would like to set a default (for example name ascending) and it will always show files within each folder in the same way

I have always used "details" which allows you to add more items to the headings and then I can sort in different manners.

It is frankly insane that sorting is not an option in OneDrive. We are in the process of moving our company onto this service and people are gonna freak when they can't click a column header to sort search results. I can't begin to imagine that any other service in the world does not have a report or search results without "click to sort" column headings. Come on Microsoft. This is probably an afternoon for one of your thousands of developers on staff.

Onedrive sorting was a joke in 2015. It still is in 2020.
INSANE... UNBELIEVABLE... MADDENING...
They will sadly never fix it unless there is a large corporate customer complaining.

YES PLEASE - Currently driving me nuts as I sort by name as amy logical person does and when I go to move files the move to is all mixed up and I can not even read the whole folder name.
Do not understand why One drive has not done it already. Most other programmes do. -

Thinking about it???
Not really good enough. OneDrive lack too many basic features like default sort and prioritising upload order. -

This should be a normal built in feature. Sadly it is as lacking as it is in Windows.

Dear OneDrive,
For the love of sweet $%(*%%&, please allow users to organize their file folders how they wish. Alphabetical order seems like a very reasonable starting point.
You provide a service. Allow it to be the best it can be.
Thank you kindly. -

The sort order I choose should be saved when closing the app automatically
Why's the sort order different on Android app than on the Windows PC app? -

This is slightly annoying! I strip metadata and rename files in order. Now when the customer opens the folders the images are all over the place. Not being able to change default sorting order is a huge misstep for a file hosting site.

Doug, after 3 /12 years have you had enough thinking time?
Here's my thought after 3 /12 minutes: just do it.

OneDrive team, if you are reading this, please do something about it. You are on the verge of losing me as a customer!
