How do I set the order of my downloads file to show the most recent download first?

Since installing Sierra, my downloads bin in my dock display, does not show the most recent download at the top of the bin. I think they are alphabetical, but that doesn't help. I can never find the file I just downloaded seconds ago. How do I set the order of that downloads bin for most recent download at the top?

Press the Control key whilst clicking on the Downloads folder in the Dock. You will now see a submenu with options on how to have Downloads folder is displayed, please choose which ever suits.

You can also click on the Downloads button in Safari which will open a window of recent downloads with the latest at the top.
