Can I default my documents organization to "Name workspace" and not "Modified"

Is there a way so OS stops rearranging my start page folder structure?
I know it likes to put what I've worked on last at the top but I'd rather just have it default to the folders being placed alphabetically.
Is there an option for this?

Hey, Tony_C_,
Currently, all sorting changes in Onshape document list page will be 'remembered' throughout the user session. For example after you sort the list alphabetically, open and work on any document, then click on the Onshape logo, it will direct you back to the document list page with the list still sorted alphabetically.
We are not yet 'remembering' the last sort option across user sessions, meaning new login to Onshape will have the document list always sorted by 'last modified', as you noticed.
We have been discussing different ways to manage this better, please open an enhancement ticket with your preference to help us prioritize the functionality.
Thanks,5

The "folders" structure can be sorted by Name, Modified Date or Modified by (person) by clicking on the headers. They can be set to ascending or descending.
The "last opened" pane at the top can be hidden by clicking on the icle down arrow next to the title.

Yeah, I know I can click on the columns and make them sort alphabetically, I just didn't know if there was a way to make that the default. Mine always sort by last modified.
