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?

Yes I agree, the users should be able to choose.
I personnally loved the alphabetical sort and I'm completely lost now in my excel pined files that do not show up in the usual order.
Hope that Microsoft will fix this :)
If MS can sort a pinned list into most recently accessed first (Office 2016) or alphabetically (anything earlier) then surely they can add an option for the user to choose which way he/she wants them sorted. This option to me is pretty fundamental to being able to retrieve frequently used files quickly and easily.

Excel has been "fixed", but Word has not.
