Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but assuming you view as list, why can't you 
click on the column headers to change the sort order?  Or if you view as 
icons, you could right-click anywhere and select Arrange Items -> By 
Modification Date, etc.

Also, where is this drop-down menu with the view type?  Do you mean in 
the View menu of the menubar?

Best,
