Finder - can't find recent items

Why is the 'earlier' section in finder at the bottom? I have to scroll past 4 months of items to get to something I saved less than a minute ago.

I figured it out. Click the hamburger menu at the top left of the finder window. Group by anything by Date … That will get rid of the Today, Yesterday, etc. section headings and allow it to be sorted by the other column headings. The menu item only shows up for me when the finder loads by trying to attached a file to slack, email, browser, etc.
