I have Asperger syndrome, so I like my files in a very specific order. For my Quick Access, I like my files in Alphabetical order. However, today I tried to add a file to Quick Access, instead of being on the bottom where I wanted it it moved to the second positon, I tried to fix it, but it then got worse to where a file 3 places up was placed in the bottom and my file was pushed between F and H and not below P, now it's all screwed up. What has happened to Quick Access?

    Dear Rayden,

    Windows Quick Access does not support manual or alphabetical sorting — it's auto-managed by Windows.

    Why this happened:

    • Pinned items in Quick Access follow pin order, not alphabetical.
    • Adding a new folder sometimes causes reordering bugs.

    If you have any question feel free to ask me.

    Best Regards,
