show most recent files first when opening excel files

[Anne`]

When go to open the data files, how can I have them presented so the most
recently accessed are show first? I had the option set and now I 've lost

Tools>Options>General>Recently Used File List.

Check it and set a number.

You'll find them in FILE when it drops down.
If not, then go to TOOL>OPTIONS>GENERAL and under
RECENTLY USED FILE LIST select your favorite number.

Click on Last Updated tag at the top of File open dialog (once or twice to
select descending order)! Excel shall remember your last setting.
