Channel Sorting with Emoji
Hi Rumtintin24 ,
Now that is an interesting use of Emojis. I would have to say though, that I don't think Emojis would have ever been planned for this purpose and therefore the results probably will be random.
I know it is a bit of a different way of doing things but do you have any more joy utilising the command bar and its search facility across the top to achieve a similar thing to the sort or at least narrow down the choice of channels.
Thanks
Henry

Yep agreed that it may be unusual (although I've seen several blogs in which people do it). When users are confronted with a lot of teams, and then channels within, the emojis provide an easy way to differentiate. (And they're used consistently across teams).
You may be right about the random sorting. But, since the non-emoji channels are sorted alphabetically, and you can also use Alt-characters to sort as well, I assumed there was some underlying logic to it.
Yep - we do also use the Search bar as well. It doesn't exactly accomplish the same goal, but it's certainly handy.
Appreciate the feedback!

In the meantime, any more insights on this topic?
I have the same challenge.
There must be some kind of logical sorting?
Appreciate your feedback,

Hi jdebrabander - no, unfortunately, I've not been able to find any answer on this yet.
