Allow sort by name reverse alphabetical (mobile)
Mobile currently only allows A-Z sort by name. Please allow Z-A sort option.
With date naming A-Z always displays oldest files first. Please allow a swap!!

Replying a bit late here, but excited to see your post re sorting of photos on Dropbox. I use Dropbox to store and sync photos that I export from Lightroom, including on iphone and ipad. I love that you don't compress the images like Apple does, I also love the your sync always just works. However, I just wish you allowed us to sort images by capture date. For photos capture date is the most important, and it's not something you offer right now, making it really just not work that well for me as either a viewing solution or even a file accessing solution (I have big folders). Any chance this might be added? Thanks!

Hi Dropbox team,
Iāve been also waiting for this feature for the iOS app for a long looong time and realized that it might help out if I also give my āvoteā for this.
In my case short by modified doesnāt solve the issue. E.g. my picture and videos are in folders shorted by YYYY-MM-DD. Sometimes I might edit them or get later some shared content which will be uploaded later and those would pop up on the top... On Mac or Windows obviously all is good, but on the mobile app, which I use the most, this little thing is frustrating me the most.
This feature would be highly appreciated. - Nancy2 years ago

conwaynorwood, Iāve merged your idea here, since it seems to be the same as the OP. Our team is currently looking into this. Cheers!

Hi from me as well, conwaynorwood! Iād like one more clarification, if you donāt mind.
Whatās the OS of your mobile device? Are you using Android OS, or iOS?
Iām asking because if itās the former, itās possible to reverse the sorting by taping on āNameā, for example, and then taping on the arrow next to it.
Let me know.

Hi, @Hannah! Yes, but those options only allow sorting one way (e.g. modified goes oldest to newest, name goes A-Z, size goes largest to smallest). It would be useful for me to have the option to switch that order to newest to oldest for modified, Z-A for name, and smallest to largest for size.
