How do I change the order of files from alphabetical order to last added?

I don't know where the settings are , I have a lot of trouble managing those files

CodePudding user response：

The setting you are looking for is

    "explorer.sortOrder": "modified"

which will sort them by the date they were last modified. To add this to your settings, you can either create .vscode/settings.json and add this field there, or use Ctrl Shift P to open the command palette, then selecting "Open Settings (JSON)", and then adding the field in there.

Creating .vscode/settings.json is a workspace specific setting - meaning that it will only affect your editor when this specific workspace is open.

However, I don't think you can sort by last added or created - plus, that doesn't really make sense. Why would you want to sort by creation date? I doubt you'll remember when you created each file and it'll be difficult to navigate your file structure.

In your Settings (File → Preferences → Settings) search for: explorer.sortOrder and then change to modified
