File Explorer New Update

The new file explorer having all the files grouped into dates is absolutely insane. How do I make my file explorer only alphabetical instead of having the breakdown being today, yesterday and previous days then alphabetical within them. I simply want it in one list alphabetically not in dates. It took me 4 minutes to find a file that should have taken 10 seconds.

How do I get back to normal of only having my folders and files in alphabetical order without having it broken into days of editing??

Hi! To change the file view, you need to press the option View at the top, and select details, then above the files you will have the Names row, click on names, the files will be listed by name, you can ungroup with a right click in an empty space > group by > none.
