Provide different options for sorting favorites - Discussion
Thanks so much to everyone who provided feedback and thoughts around how to sort their favorites! We’ve recently implemented the ability to sort your favorites alphabetically via the . . . menu in the full page experience for Favorites. To do this, you can either click on the star icon in your toolbar and select Manage favorites, navigate to the . . . menu > Favorites > Manage favorites, or you can hold Ctrl+Shift+O to bring up the page.
Once on the full page experience for your Favorites in builds 83+, you will see a . . . menu at the top right. Click that, and you should see an option for Sort by name.

We believe that this covers one point of feedback for sorting favorites, however we want to know more. Does this sorting option work for you? Are there other sorting options you’d like to see in Edge? Let us know here or by providing your feedback through the feedback tool that’s built into Edge.

I interpreted this feature as a way to sort the list of favorites for searching purposes only and did not expect it to permanently change the ordering of my favorites. Thankfully Ctrl+Z worked to revert back.
I would like to suggest the phrasing be changed to something like "Reorder by name" instead of "Sort by name" to make it very clear that the favorites will be reordered everywhere and not just temporarily on the current Favorites tab.
- or even better, a confirmation dialog
