How does everyone sort their files anyway? I remember a few years ago it used to be really easy to find the newest Download file but now it seems like for no rhyme or reason some files go to the bottom of my folder (but not the VERY bottom!) and I'm stuck there sucking my thumb wondering if I actually downloaded it or not. I try setting it to "last updated/last modified" but that makes it just as confusing with different file extensions.

I keep a place for everything, and everything in its place. My download folder is cleaned regularly, usually right when I download the file I move it to it’s appropriate place. Sometimes it still fills up with old installers or what have you, if it is a hard to get installer like for old devices, old games, or niche hardware I store it in a safe place on my encrypted cloud, otherwise if it is new software or frequently updated I just delete it after I’m done.
