Sorting favourites

Is there a way to auto sort favourites, i.e. alphabetically

Already gave feedback via Help and Feedback to include (auto) sorting of favourites. I personally would prefer sorting by mouse right click menu i.s.o. of auto sorting. Currently use the drag and drop method, but this a pain.

I requested also for a favourite button with a pull down list of favourites i.s.o. or next to the favourite bar. The favourite bar consumes unnecessary screen space.

    Andy,

    Remember, can set Fav Bar to Never and, STILL, use Ctrl+Shift+B to show it when and while you need it and to then, re-hide it... So, it's not taking up unnecessary space all the time

    Cheers,

      I know that, but that is not handy at all. Use 2 hands to press shift-ctrl-b, switch your hand to the mouse, scroll to the favourite if it is not visible on the bar, use 2 hands again to hide the bar...May be peanuts, but a favourite button is much much more handy...Mouse click and hold, move to the favourite, let it go, job done.

        Not saying it shouldn't be.  Was merely offering a possiblity, at least, for now.

        Cheers,

    it was a long time before sorting was implemented in the original edge. A free program called edgemanage by Emmet Gray solved the problem for me. Not sure if he is updating the program for the new edge.

      Also using EdgeManage for a quite some time to full satisfaction. With Edge-Chromium you possibly do not need EdgeManage anymore. Edge-C has a built in favourite manager which allows you to also make a backup of your favourites; exporting option. When sorting is included in Edge-C, you definitely do not need EdgeManage anymore. Sorry for Emmet Gray.
