Provide different options for sorting favorites - Discussion
Elliot Kirk, one thing I don't like much about Microsoft Edge is edge://favorites in address bar. While knowing address and enter it in browser is nice feature but I don't like to see it like address bar and it would be nice if it shows professional way instead of address. Something similar to address bar in Windows Explorer.
So back to topic for Favorite sorting, I would like share the following feedbacks:
Ability to Sort A-Z and Z-A , please consider sorting for mix scenario like Arabic and Korean alphabet mix with English and options to set sorting when we have mix list of Arabic and English or other language and set first sort Arabic, then English based on alphabet vice versa and ability to set category like Arabic and list of sort and English list of sort.
We need ability for custom sorting , so user could drag and drop and sort out they way they want and save it as custom sorting and put a name for it. Let say I have my own logic and do my own sorting and want to save it as Sort 1 and Sort 2 (two different ways of sorting) with drag and drop.
Ability to sort based on date of creating favorites.
Ability to sort based of frequently of visit, so count how many times we visit each favorite website and sort them on based on number of visit.

it's not unprofessional, it's a simplified and modern way to navigate between different areas of Edge and Chrome/Chromium.
it's also easier when trying to help someone by giving them the URL to them to paste in their address bar instead of saying: "go here, then go there, then click this and click that"
you can see the full list here: edge://about/
Windows Explorer also uses the similar syntax (e.g D:\Folder\folder2\file)
HotCakeX in Windows Explorer, when you click on the top it shows as address but when you navigate, it is different style. It is good idea to have navigation but I am referring to UI and UX and I want show it like menu instead of address and when click on it show address (like Windows Explorer).
- Either way, it has nothing to do with professionalism, it's just a style. people are used to it because Chromium, Chrome and other Chromium based browsers adopted it.
Yes Windows Explorer has another style and it puts a small > between locations but it's not necessary to do the same on Edge. instead of > Edge uses a slash /, none of them is better than the other. it's just how it is.
