Pinned Items in Office 2016 not sorted alphabetically

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?

    i believe my question was related to task bar items - how do you get items pinned to task bar alphabetical?

    Not related to Office 2016 at all, but you can just drag items on the task bar to the order you want them in.

    My pinned items in Excel are *mostly* alphabetical, but the second-to-last one I added is at the bottom of the list when alphabetically it would be at the top. I'm sort of wondering if it's because the first character of the filename is lower case, which would really be illogical. I'm still on Version 1803 (Build 9126.2098) because our central IT department doesn't push out updates immediately.

    2 years and still not sorted - not good feedback response from Microsoft- causing a lot of people to be unproductive.

    for me with many pinned files I need to have them alphabetically or lose loads of time looking for them making it quicker to open from the original location as I can have them alphabetically making the pinned files almost worthless.

    it should be an option of alphabetically or last used

    if I could go back to Office 2013 I would as it was much more efficient
