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?

    The comment that comes after the first sentence is not helpful.

    I also agree.  I finally gave up and created a spreadsheet with hyperlinks to the multiple files I use on a daily basis.  It's the only thing I keep pinned and it's the first thing opened each morning.  I still don't understand why they would make this change and not give you the option to have them list alphabetically.

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for taking this back to the Engineering Team.  Designing an option for how the user wants to sort the pinned documents makes the most sense.  Please ensure that they understand this should apply to all Office apps, not just Excel.

    Most recent documents is a HUGE productivity enhancer for me.  I primarily use Ppt, Excel, and Word.  Can they please make recent documents the first thing I see when I select "File"?  For the life of me, I cannot understand why it takes me to the Info page.  What a useless page.

    Best,

    Jim
