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?

    Back in my day file names were limited to eight character plus a three digit extension.  To open a file required a "call" to a "subroutine" where the input required was the full path and file name.  You crossed your fingers and hoped you didn't mis-type any of the "arguments".  So please, lets have some perspective.

    Hmmm, your point is irrelevant.  If that's your argument, how about these...  At one time, man didn't comprehend fire, so the next time you're cold because you have no heat, keep it in perspective.  And there was a time when man hadn't yet discovered the wheel, so next time you have a flat and can't get to where you were going, keep it in perspective.

    I just noticed that the latest version of Office 365 has restored alphabetic sorting. My version identifies itself as Office Version 1610 build 74466.2038, Excel 2016 MSO 16.0.7426.1015 64-bit. I hope it stays this way, but I am very jaded by now.

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