Description

In the windows desktop or the browser version, by clicking on "Deleted Files" one gets a list of deleted files. One can sort this list by "Deleted", which dieplays this correctly ordered by deletion date ascending or descending. However the date distance displayed in this column is the distance between the file created. This is not very helpful, I would expect there the distance between the deletion date. I would select this sort order especially when I look for recently deleted files. So in this case, the information how long ago the file is created, is not very useful.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Deleted Files list in the Windows desktop or browser version, then inspect the Deleted column's sorting and displayed date-distance behavior. Confirm that sorting still follows deletion date while the distance is calculated from file creation; done means the column shows how long ago each file was deleted.
