--- Comment #1 from Méven Car <meven29 at gmail.com> ---
> while the correct way is to sort them by date of access which doesn't work because it's disabled on Linux to speed up IO, so it would be great to add an option to sort Recent Files/Locations items from recent to old (or the opposite) according to Plasma sort mechanism to make it easy for user to access the most recent files

That's not true, access time tracking can be disabled and is often disabled for
SSDs since they have limited write cycles lifetime, but that's an issue that's
being mitigated nowadays.

Also in recent document they are access times that are not the file system
access time but rather the time an application open the file and wrote it to
~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel not from the filesystem metadata, so sorting
by access time will do what you expect.

You don't have to have the access time column displayed to sort by it.
