    Hello,

    Currently, it supports only sorting manually each session, but there is no built-in setting to permanently change the default sort from descending to ascending. You can do this:

    Open OneDrive in your browser or Windows Explorer.

    Click the column header you want to sort (Name, Date modified, Size).

    Click again to switch between ascending and descending.

    OneDrive remembers this sort only while the session is open; it resets when you reopen the app or refresh the page.

    For consistent ordering, you need to sort each time you open OneDrive. Hope it helps.
