Finding and organizing files can be challenging, especially when Sort by Date Modifies stops working in File Explorer. This could happen because of corrupt folder view settings, grouping options, folder optimization, etc. Here, we explain the causes and how you can fix the “Sort by date modified” feature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When this feature stops working upon closing and reopening folders, the files revert to sorting by “Name,” or they may behave unpredictably, mixing newer files with older ones or prioritizing certain file types over regular folders. This is frustrating, but you no longer need to worry about it. Simply follow the steps below and fix the issue. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why is “Sort by Date Modified” Broken or Not Working in Windows 11 File Explorer<\/h3>\n

Software Glitches<\/b>\u2014Bugs in File Explorer or outdated Windows updates can cause issues. Regular updates and resetting folder view settings may help resolve these problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Folder View Settings<\/b> – If the “Group by” option is set to anything other than “None,” it can prevent files from being sorted correctly by modification date. Make sure this setting is adjusted properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

File Metadata Issues<\/b>\u2014Corrupt or inaccurate metadata can affect how files are organized, and problems with file properties can lead to sorting discrepancies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indexing Problems<\/b>\u2014Issues with the Windows search index can hinder File Explorer\u2019s ability to interpret and display file properties accurately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Folder Optimization Settings<\/b> – Windows optimizes folders based on their content types, but automatic optimizations may lead to sorting errors, particularly with the “Sort by date modified” function.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mixed File Types<\/b> –\u00a0 Folders containing different file types can confuse Windows, causing incorrect sorting behaviors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fix Windows 11 Sort By Date Modified Not Working<\/h2>\n

Optimizing folder Sort by Date Modified in Windows 11 is easy. To fix the problem, start by restarting File Explorer. Doing so helps fix temporary glitches that might be the reason behind File Explorer issues<\/a>. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Click Processes tab > File Explorer > right-click > Restart. After this, update Windows and see if you can use the Sort by Date Modified option. If this does not help, follow these advanced troubleshooting steps. <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Method 1 – Refresh The \u201cGroup By\u201d Option<\/h3>\n

Files are displayed in groups when specific attributes, like name, date, or type, are used. This sometimes affects the sorting order within those groups. Therefore, to remove this added layer of folder organization, set the “Group by” option to None. This disabling of grouping helps fix the issue. To do so, follow these steps:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Navigate to the folder where the Group By option is malfunctioning.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Group
\n2. Right-click a blank space within the folder to reveal the context menu.
\n<\/span>3. Hover your mouse cursor over Group By and click on \u201c(none).\u201d<\/span>
\n

\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\n

Note : <\/strong>You will not see the \u201c(none)\u201d option if it is already set to None.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

4. After you have set it to \u201c(none),\u201d you can check your files in the folder and select Group By \u201cDate\u201d again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Method 2 – Reset The Folder View Option<\/h3>\n

Folder view settings dictate how files and folders appear in File Explorer. When you configure a folder to sort files by date modified, Windows remembers this setting for the next time. However, certain changes, updates, or modifications from other software may corrupt these settings, leading File Explorer to display files incorrectly. Resetting the settings helps clear any issues and restores File Explorer to its default, uncorrupted state. Here is what you need to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Press Win + E to launch the <\/span>File Explorer<\/b>.
\n<\/span>2. Click on the three dots in the toolbar located on the top and choose <\/span>Options<\/b>.
\n<\/span>3. The <\/span>Folder Options<\/b> box will now open. Click the <\/span>View <\/b>tab > <\/span>Reset Folders<\/b> button first.\"folder
\n<\/span>4. Next, click <\/span>Apply to Folders<\/b> button.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Apply
\n5. This will ensure that the settings reset to default are now applied to all folders.
\n<\/span>6. Finally, click on the <\/span>Apply<\/b> button followed by <\/span>OK<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This will reset File Explorer to default settings. Now, reapply the “Sort by Date Modified” option and check if it functions correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Method 3 – Modify Folder Optimization<\/h3>\n

Different file types require specific view settings for correct display, such as thumbnails for images and detailed metadata for documents. Windows automatically optimizes folders based on their content type, but it can sometimes make mistakes about the primary content, particularly in folders with mixed file types. This can result in incorrect optimization and issues in File Explorer. Follow these steps to manually select the optimization options.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Press Win + E to Open the File Explorer window and navigate to the folder with issues.
\n<\/span>2. Right-click any space within the folder and choose Properties from the context menu.
\n<\/span>3. In the folder properties box, click on the Customize box.
\n<\/span>4. Select the option that best matches the folder’s content in the ‘ Optimize this folder for ‘ dropdown menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Customize
\n5. Check the box before ‘Also apply this template to all subfolders’ to ensure the same optimization applies to any subfolders.
\n<\/span>6. Click on the Apply button followed by OK to save your changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Method 4 – Rebuild Search Index<\/h3>\n

File Explorer depends on the Windows Search index to sort files. When there is an issue with the indexing data, you face issues and cannot use certain features. To fix it and rebuild the search index, follow these steps:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Press Windows + I to open Windows Settings.
\n<\/span>2. Click the Privacy & Settings option. \"Privacy
\n<\/span>3. Scroll down and look for the Searching Windows option.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Searching
\n<\/span>4. Scroll down > click Advanced Indexing Options. <\/span>
\n<\/span>5. Click Advanced option under Indexing Options.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Indexing
\n<\/span>6. Click Rebuild.\"Advanced <\/span>
\n<\/span>7. Confirm the action by clicking the Ok button.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Let the process finish, and then try to use the Sort by Date Modified option. It should work correctly. <\/span><\/p>\n
