The title says it all. Whereas in Office 2013 pinned recent items automatically got sorted alphabetically this is no longer the case in any programme in Office 2016. This is extremely frustrating. Any fix?

Considering today's date being September 13, 2018 Microsoft did not listen too much and ignored users as almost always.
Users should have the option to sort alphabetically or by most recent. Until that change is made, please revert to sorting alphabetically; otherwise it is too time-consuming to review the entire list of pinned files looking for the one you need. Thanks.
Like others have said we keep pinned lists for a reason - they are regularly used files. To scan through that list to find the one you want is time wasting, can't we have the option to choose one or the other (as some prefer it and others don't)?
Agree with original poster. I upgraded from Office 2013 to 365 in June 2018 and this is the first thing I noticed. Pinned files preferred to be in alphabetical order. How difficult would it be to add a checkbox to sort either by last modified date or alphabetically?
Concur.
