Provide different options for sorting favorites - Discussion
Microsoft
Hello, I'd like to be able to configure automatic and ongoing alpha sorting of my Favorites so that even as I add new Favorites or reorganize my Favorites the result is auto-sorted (subfolders first by alpha sort, then bookmarks by alpha sort). I'd like that setting to roam with my profile, so as I use Edge on different devices the behavior is consistent.
I'd also like to suggest considering ways to provide a dynamically created favorites folder that perhaps is based off my Windows timeline (much like Office document history) or perhaps apply some AI algorithm to suggest items in my Favorites that I may be looking for based on the current site I'm browsing/search criteria. One of the scenarios I struggle with the most is knowing that I've stored the site I'm looking for in my Favorites - but finding where it is, what I named it, etc... often leaves me finding the path I took to get to the site originally vs. quickly leveraging the Favorite.
I completely agree with NoahW about the first part.
In an enterprise environment the IT-department often manage a list of favorites that are mandatory for all, and then the users can add their own favorites as well. Normally we would prefer all the corporate favorites on the top as they are the ones our uses need the most - we have ususally accomplished this by naming them with a "-" as the first character.
(An even better solution would be if the favorites had a "favorites managed by your organization" section and a "favorites managed by you" section.)
The problem is every time we add a new favorite it ends up in the bottom.So we need a group policy to enable automatic ongoing alphanumeric sorting so that no matter how many new favorites are added, they are still in an alphanumeric order.
