Hello @bruce2004dedba 

Please follow the steps below to display the products Sorted by newest in Magento 2:

• Log in to your Magento 2 admin panel and go to Stores > Attributes > Product.
• Click on the "Created At" attribute and make sure that the "Used for Sorting in Product Listing" option is set to "Yes". This will enable the attribute to be used for sorting products.
• Go to Stores > Configuration > Catalog > Catalog > Storefront.
• In the "Product Listing Sort by" option, select "Created At" from the dropdown menu.
• Save the configuration and clear the cache.

With these changes, the product listing on your storefront should now be sorted by the newest first based on the product creation date. Note that this will only apply to products that have the "Created At" attribute set correctly, and it may take some time for the changes to take effect depending on your cache settings.

There are a couple easy ways to configure Magento 2 to sort category products by newest without coding:

1. In Admin, go to Catalog > Categories and edit your target category. 

2. Under Display Settings, set "Sort By" to "Set Product as New From Date"

3. Set the New From Date range to filter as needed, such as last 30 days.

4. Save the category. Newest products will now be shown first.

Alternatively, you can:

1. Install a free extension like Porto or Aheadworks Advanced Sorting. 

2. This will add a "New Arrivals" sort option to category pages.

3. Set this as the default sort order in Configuration.

The category display settings are the easiest built-in way to sort by newest. Extensions like Porto provide more flexibility for sort options.
