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.

Hey Myztik,
 
If you’re referring to the desktop app, since the Dropbox folder is just like any other folder on your computer, the ability to sort your content would follow the same manner as within any other folder.  
 
If you’re referring to the mobile app though, currently, when you select to sort your content by Modified, only your files get sorted by date (while folders are in alphabetical order after the files). Nonetheless, I’d be more than happy to pass your thoughts for the dev team to review. 
 
Don’t hesitate to get back to us if you have any other questions or ideas for us! :slight_smile:

    Hi, I have the same request - would love for sort order to be respected by *folders* as well as files in the Dropbox iOS app! Feels kind of buggy with files being sorted correctly but not folders.

      Hey peeps! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us.
       
      I’ve made sure to send this to our dev team and have also moved this post to the Share an idea section of the Community so as to keep track of your feedback. 
       
      Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with. :grin:
