Answers.Text: This worked, the asset appeared at the top and was automatically selected.
  
  Any way to make this the default setting for each asset upload folders?

Answers.Text: From our perspective it feels more like a bug - but with the solution of sorting by date modified, perhaps this could be made the default or an option to choose the default (other than going through and changing it for each folder in advance).

Title: When uploading an asset, the asset is not selected after upload
ThreadText: # When uploading an asset, the asset is not selected after upload
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-05-12)
  
  When uploading an asset through either the assets tab, or within an asset field - the asset uploads successfully but doesn't get automatically selected for insertion.
  
  To get around the issue I have to search for asset filename and then select it.
  
  Ideally the asset should get selected by default ready to be inserted by clicking 'select'.
  
  We have quite a few assets, so there is auto pagination/load more which might be causing the issue?
  
  Any help appreciated.
