I always do date added, and it sometimes doesn't show new files in the file picker view most commonly - and then I have to go somewhere else and back and it seems to refresh.
The other weirdness is sometimes a file gets updated (think "touch") and it won't change it's order in the list.
Most of the time it works fine. It's like inotify or whatever sometimes doesn't fire.
Ah, I almost never use the file picker. I tend to keep certain folders open in tabs in Finder and drag from them to the apps or to the file open dialogs. I tend to do a lot of work in a handful of folders and never liked the process of of “File Open….now navigate to that folder you were just using”.
