    Hi Orix, and thanks for posting here! 

     

    Are you referring to the mobile app or the desktop app instead? 

     

    If this is about the mobile app, you can go to the "Files" tab, click on the header above your files, make sure "Modified" is selected and then tap on the arrow next to it. This should allow you to sort your files the way you want. 

     

    On your desktop app, this depends on your OS instead, so you can sort files within your Dropbox folder the same way you would with other folders on your computer.

     

    Let me know if you'd like to achieve something different, though.

    Its mobil app on iphone.

    I tryed but I only get Modified ascending, not descending. (I have to scroll 100 folders down to get to the newest).

     

    Is there a way?

    can you show a pic how you do?
