There’s one thing in macOS Finder that really annoys me. You download a zip archive into the Downloads folder, where you already have a million files (I clean it every six months). And then you unpack it. The folder from the archive doesn’t appear next to the zip file, but somewhere lower down, sometimes much lower. This is because the files are sorted by creation/modification date (which puts the zip file at the top since I just downloaded it), and the unpacked file ends up somewhere in the middle because its creation date is in the past. And finding that folder or file can sometimes be very non-trivial, because you don’t always remember what it was named in the archive.

UPDATE: Thanks to Naumov Aleksey – you need to sort by Date Added. To do this, you need to enable this column, which is not enabled by default. Sorting by created/modified date is now out the window
