Sorting "open" or "attach" files in Finder dialog box the same as Finder when browsing?
Hey everyone,
Just had to format a Macbook. Running Catalina.
I had this set up before and remember it being a pain in the *** to set up last time and can't remember how to get it back.
In Finder, I use column view to sort by date modified with the most recent file at the top. I want that same view when I "upload" or "open" or "save" files as well. However, it is in alphabetical order instead, with no option to sort.
I know you can switch to "list" view but 9/10 times I'm adding an image file and columns is super handy to see a preview of an image + dimensions/details of the file, as I may need to look at multiple versions to attach the right size.
Here's how Finder looks when browsing:
Here's how an "open" or "attach" dialog looks (e.g. When clicking on "attach" on an email):
And these are the only "sort" options in that dialog box:
And here's how my Finder view options are set:
I don't really get why there's a difference between the two but hey, Apple likes to make things difficult sometimes.
Anyone know how I can get this working again?
Thanks.
