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 agree with Greg1126.  I keep 25 files in the pinned list.  Having them re-sorted each time they are opened is VERY inefficient!  Why did you ever make such a stupid change?  MS always talks about increasing productivity - this change (of re-sorting the pinned list based upon usage date/time) causes me to be VERY unproductive!

    Retrograde step if you ask me.  I keep about 20 items pinned for regular use.  Having to scan the list non-alphabetically each time reduces my productivity.

    In Office 2016, recent items are sorted according to date and time and not alphabetically.
