hi guys
would any of you know how I could force my windows to always display files by date modified ? So that I don’t have to do it manually each time I open files ?

Apparently for me, once I set it the folder view a certain way, it stays that way until I change it again.

^Same for me.
Delete the hidden desktop file in the folder that saves folder settings and see if it works again?
