Change the order of groups on sidebar

ideally you could toggle between alphabetical or manually change the order (custom)

    would be super cool if you can drag and reorder the sideview of groups and view

    It seems it's not possible to manually change the order. That would be amazing to have the groups you prioritize at any given moment for what I'm working on

    This is now done! We now support sorting by name (default) or size -- your preferences will be saved. We've also made this section collapsible.

      Kevin Sun: Hey Kevin! I noticed that sorting by name does not put the groups in alphabetic order… Is that how it's supposed to be?

      Gonçalo Torgal: Hi Goncalo! It should -- is it possible that you have different cases? (uppercase / lowercase). The sort does not take into account emoji and is case sensitive. If you're not seeing a correct sort, could you share your operating system too? Happy to take a look.

      Kevin Sun: Hi Kevin! I solved it! Some of my groups had a space before the name that's why it was not in the correct order. Thanks for your reply!

    If not implementing nested groups or labels (e.g., https://roadmap.getdex.com/feature-requests/p/subgroups-and-nested-groups), please at least let us change the order of groups. I tried to break large groups into smaller groups (similarly named) to help organise, but they ended up all over the group list.

      Andrew Andrew: Hi Andrew! Would alphabetical organization be useful in this particular case (similarly named groups) or would you have a strong preference for manual ordering?

      Kevin Sun: To be honest, did not expect such a quick response! Thanks!
      I would happily take alphabetical ordering if that's easier/quicker to get into the roadmap. I (and I imagine other users) can manually order using A-Z (classic "!Impt" "zignore" style groups/folders). I think alphabetical ordering would 90% solve my need here.
      Manual ordering (i.e., drag-and-drop ordering) would be nice, but only as additional to alphabetical (i.e., users would probably complain if we could only manually sort).
      Thanks again for following up my request.
