Finally tamed my desktop clutter with a single hidden folder trick

Ngl I had over 400 files just sitting on my desktop for like 3 years, but I found out you can set a folder to auto-sort by date modified with a right click. Has anyone else found a dumb simple fix like this that actually cleared out your digital junk?

400 files on your desktop for 3 years? Not gonna lie that's kind of impressive in a horrifying way. I think my brain would just shut down every time I turned on my PC. But wait, you're telling me you can just right click a folder and it automatically sorts by date modified? I thought that needed some crazy registry edit or third party software. That's actually insane how simple that is. I've been manually dragging files into date organized folders like a fool. Really curious how many of those 400 were duplicates or random screenshots you forgot about. Bet it felt like spring cleaning in there after you cleared it out.

Honestly @abby_martin28 I used to think that was some hidden secret too, but nope, it's just right there plain as day.
