Then click the checkbox next to “Date Modified” for example, and click “Ok”.
Then right click an empty area again, hover over “sort by” again, and left click “Date Modified”, which is now an option in that menu.

Windows SHOULD remember you’ve done this from now on, but you will need to right-click and choose “Date Modified”, per this example, for each folder you want to view this way.
There may be a way to do this on a “global” basis across Windows, but I don't think this isn’t a good idea, and it’s better to do it per folder based on your needs.
