 * Hello.
    How I can change default Sort Options for example to ‘File ID’ and ‘Descending’?‘
   Download Options’–>’Download Listing Options’ changes is not working. Downloads
   sorted by File Name In Ascending Order still. Thanks!

 * It will only in your page downloads and not if you embed multiple files in a 
   shortcode.

 * I mean a sorting at Manage Downloads page. It’s always sorted by File Name In
   Ascending Order. Can it be sorted by File ID and Descending as default?

 * Nope it can’t. The sorting is for front facing.

 * OK, thank you.
    May You add this option in future updates (like checkbox “use
   as default”) or I could do some changes of the code?
