I feel like this is a stupid question, but I can't figure it out.

When I save or open a file out of my adobe programs since the last update, files are listed by date (Today/Previous 30 Days etc) PLEASE help me change this back to listing my files alphabetically by name!

THANKS!

Hi there,

Sorry that your images in Photoshop Open/Save as menu are arranged and grouped by date.

This is an operating system feature that you might've changed by mistake or an operating system update modified it.

To change it back to default, simply right click on an empty space near the image thumbnail to bring the window as below and change the "Group by" to None and "Sort by" to Name.

Hope that helps!

Thanks,

Akash
