@CavalloneChen Recently Viewed items can be sorted by Date Modified. However, since you need to manually modify the item to be listed, which is a hassle. Good news is this can be automated. You need to use the Zotero Tag plugin https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-tag/releases There you can set the rules to add tag on item open say, "open tab" and remove the "open tab" on item closed. Now the item has been modified and viewed recently.
1-Chartero (it adds recent opened option to the file menu) and actions and tags plugin (can also save a list of opened tabs as a saved session). Another workaround would be creating a tag of recent opened or making minor modifications (as adding a comment of recently opened) in any opened file to affect the date modified field.
2-The "Ethereal Style" plug-in provides the functionality of pinning favorite collections as well as saved searches above the main library. This is really great and very helpful function in handling complex structures of collections.
However, it might be useful to consider having these functionalities built-in in zotero itself with less consumption of resources (by adding an option for showing recent and favorite collections and saved searches, and recently opened files).
Sincerest thanks to the Zotero main program developers and all plug-in developers for their tremendous efforts.
I tried to use the Date Modified to keep track of what I have opened recently (I usually re-read pieces of texts and make new comments, which is what I'd like to keep track of). I just realized that when I make a new comment on the Notes of a text, the Notes have a new Date Modified value but it doesnt show when I reorder the entire library using this parameter. Maybe because its a child file? but I'd like to know if anyone can workaround this.

We'll be adding a proper Recently Read collection soon.
There's no reason you should have to modify an item for it to show up as viewed.
Are you referring to zotero-tag functionality?

For me it is ok, I do not know if it can help you.
