You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Mobile currently only allows A-Z sort by name. Please allow Z-A sort option. With date naming A-Z always displays oldest files first. Please allow a swap!!
It would be great if Dropbox expanded on the folder sort options, especially an option to sort ascending (e.g. A-Z) or descending (e.g. Z-A).
I should specify that I’m referring to the Dropbox app specifically.

Hey conwaynorwood, thanks for reaching out to us!
I assume you're referring to the Dropbox mobile app, correct?
You can currently sort your files by 'modified', 'size', 'type' and 'name'.
If you sort them by name, does that somewhat help achieve what you want to do?
Keep me posted.
Hi, @Hannah! Yes, but those options only allow sorting one way (e.g. modified goes oldest to newest, name goes A-Z, size goes largest to smallest). It would be useful for me to have the option to switch that order to newest to oldest for modified, Z-A for name, and smallest to largest for size.

Hi from me as well, conwaynorwood! I’d like one more clarification, if you don’t mind.
What’s the OS of your mobile device? Are you using Android OS, or iOS?
I’m asking because if it’s the former, it’s possible to reverse the sorting by taping on “Name”, for example, and then taping on the arrow next to it.
Let me know.

Hi again, conwaynorwood! Did you check my previous reply, by any chance?
Hi, Nancy! Thank you. Yes, I’ve tried tapping the arrow, but nothing happens.
Also, I’m using iOS 17

conwaynorwood, I’ve merged your idea here, since it seems to be the same as the OP. Our team is currently looking into this. Cheers!
