Files app default open screen/folder

Is there a way to change or set the app to open to a different folder or screen? I would like it to open to the screen that contains my “favorites” rather than whatever location it currently opens to—which seems much more logical to me anyway.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

What happened to being able to drag favorites from Safari start page and arranging them in my order? Why can I no longer drag and move my favorites icon on the safari start page? Not on the Home Screen and NOT the favorites folder. I use to be able to hold down and drag them just like the Home Screen, now when you press and hold a small page opens and asks if you want to copy, edit, share, save it to a group or delete. I just want it to wiggle so I can rearrange them to how I use them. I think this change happened after who knows which update but it is very frustrating. I have read all previous suggestions about rearranging the folder or rearranging the Home Screen, not what I’m looking for. Any hints? Thank you.

It will open the last accessed page/screen/folder.
