Files always appear in order by Name (default).  Now, fairly recently, the default uses the file size to order the files (VERY ANNOYING).  How can I set it back to order files according to name (both the folder list and the contents nested inside of folders)?  I use a Mac, not Windows.

  Hi Linda, 

  Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 

  As  we investigate, can you provide these additional details? 

  • What is the Operating System running in your machine? 
  • Do you have a local Box application installed, can I confirm its version? 
  • Can you also send a screenshot of your file or folder display? 

  We'll lookout for your reply!

  Barry Gould saved the day for me with this comment in another forum: if you navigate to "All Files" or where you start when you initially login, and set the sort order there, it stays that way when you navigate to other pages.
