Choose "date added" as the default setting in importing preferences?

Hi there everyone!
I am looking for something that I seem to recall to have in the past and not anymore: When I import media using the cmd+i command in FCPX, It is always set on the "Name" parameter by default, so all the media on the folder I am choosing them from is classified by name, and I always have to manually click two times on the "date of creation" parameter to get them sorted how I want them to.
Isn't there a way to make it by default, so every time you open the import window, all you files are classified in order of creation date?
I know it doesn't seem like much, but in my editing process, I am frequently using this to add pictures, videos of b-roll in my main projects, and those two clicks are super annoying!
Thanks a lot if you have any idea how to help!

It looks like you are right - you cannot change the default starting view from list files by "name" in the Import Window.
One suggestion - you can import files directly into events by dragging the files from an open Finder window onto the event (or directly into the timeline). If you leave your Finder folder open you can leave it on sort by "date added". I do this a lot.
