Description MikeD 2023-08-27 18:49:43 UTC 
Description:
The recent file list is virtually unusable as it is NOT filtered by the type of libre office document / spreadsheet / presentation etc. If I'm opening  a file from writer, I need to see recent documents - NOT spreadsheets - which I generally use a lot of.
PLEASE add a filter to this list , or SORT by file extension, with the top of the list being the module that is requesting the list.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.File>Recent Documents
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Un-sorted list

Expected Results:
Sorted list or only documents in writer, only spreadsheets in calc etc.


Reproducible: Always

It's not about the Start Center but menu File - Recent Documents.

manual installation of Libre office required 7 passes, it would be better if files were grouped so as dependencies are satisfied by installing programs in the required order.
