when i search files (e.g. documents), apple sorts them into groups by month. not helpful. how do i turn off this sorting so files are simply chronological? No this is not View/sort by date issue.

Use the grouping button to set the grouping to None.

Set the Sort to date.


If you want to sort descending, switch to List View.
