Jesse Burgheimer (ID: 000000346492c666) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/28/2020 This seems like a trivial concern, but I really appreciate my downloads being sorted by month. It's not as strict as as a sort by filetype and saving folder is too extreme for my needs. Sorting by month is *just right* for me, so thanks for this little extension.
