I accidentally deleted several files and don’t remember all their names. I tried to recover them from the trash but couldn’t find a way to sort them by the date they were deleted. Since the files were just deleted, they should be among the last 5-6 items. However, I don’t recall their names or when they were last accessed. Is there a way to sort the trash by deletion time to make it easier to find them?
This works for me, you can try:
Trash > View > Sort by > Date Added, then your Trash files will be listed again.
I thought that if you deleted the files very recently and didn’t do much action. The keyboard combinations Command +Z can undo the action.
What about the Terminal commands if you fail to add the date in the Finder?
- Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
- Enter ls -lt ~/.Trash, if you see the exact deletion time, then enter stat -f “%Sm %N” ~/.Trash/*
Hope this way can fix your doubt, good luck.
Thanks, 
everyone, I tried the Finder settings suggested by Yuri, things work well.
