Using Place in InDesign (Mac Sequoia), the files are ordered by last opened - How to change it?

When I click on Place to add an image to an InDesign doc, the files appear in order of last opened and I have not found how to change that. Anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Catherine284762306smk:

 

It sounds like you're referring to the order that the files appear in the Place dialog box? 

 

There are two menus at the top left: one controls how the files are displayed, the second controls the order.
