Hi lauschke; welcome to our Community!

 

I'm sorry for the late reply; your post was marked as spam, probably due to its length.

 

Could you please let me know when you first noticed this happening and which version of our desktop app you're using on your Mac?

 

If you post a screenshot of an example too, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks a bunch!

      Just ran into this issue as well, the file sorting issues on this are pretty frustrating. Would love the ability to control this change, or a reversion of it. Not really sure there's any usability benefit here.
