Manage and sort Quick Links

How do I manage and sort Quick Links in Edge? Please don't point me to boilerplate information about turning on or adding Quick Links. I already know how to do that. Once I already have Quick Links on my New Tab page, I would like to sort them, edit individual links, etc. It would be preferable to be able to do that interactively on the New Tab page itself (like one can do on Google Chrome), but failing that, is there a Dev Tool or data file or registry entry that I can manually edit? I have looked to no avail.

    Can we get this fixed please. Seems small but would be a huge time saver for me.

    SeanMMcCord I agree 100%. I have links all mixed for shopping, media, social media, finance, etc, etc. At this rate, I might as well disable this feature (which could have been useful) and make folders in the bookmarks bar.

      I gave up and migrated to the Brave browser and haven't looked back.

    Musing a little.

     

    I do not understand why some people are so stubborn to have what others have in applications or precisely web browsers. Why the blustering run to evince stupidest habit "live or die" in such circumstances when one is not offered something with the application he's chosen? I do not need the Quick Links whatsoever, for example. I have two rows of them, nice, but not a tragedy when not sorted, or edited etc.

     

    Tab groups are transient objects what means one can change them to one's whims. I can open my mostly needed pages or keep pages which I think they'll be of some use in a close or foreseeable future. The more so  I can set a time after which any tab will become inactive. There's the option:

     

    Put inactive tabs to sleep after the specified amount of time: 5 min

     

    No extra stress to memory or CPU. They are not deleted. They are hibernated as it is happening in Vivaldi, for example. Having Tab groups is enough for me. Other hyperlinks are being kept in Bookmarks (BTW. MS beloved detestable name of Favorites as the whores on French king courts, why not basic Bookmarks?).

     

    All web browsers seem to press its users to think about alternative solutions. To be crerative. I think so. I'm sure of that. That's a very nature way of doing things - you do not have what you want - conjure the solution up, mate.

     

    For those too lazy or overly in distress, or whatever, it appeared there was a Cavallery the Brave in the waiting.

     

    Nevertheless, I do prefer balancing on an edge, risky, but exiting. The Edge.

      Some people actually like to be organized.
      Personally, I turned quick links off and made folders in my Bookmarks Bar.
      Now I have a folder for bills, a folder for gaming and server panels, a folder for streaming, a folder for shopping, etc.
