Hi uaxman, let's jump right into this!

As a first step, can you clarify which platform you're referring to? Is it safe to guess you're talking about the mobile app?

On our iOS mobile app, it's currently possible to keep the folders on top, only if you're sorting them by name though.

I hope this clarifies!

Hey uaxman, on the Dropbox website, you can click on the column header "Modified", to sort your files by date modified, however, the files will appear at the top.

I'll pass your comments along to our team, though!
