    Hi,

    Is there a way to organize the Folders List on my forms page in Alphabetical Order?

    Regards, Robert

    Although you can't automatically sort your folders in alphabetical order, you can manually drag and drop folders to change their positions as shown by the screencast below:

    We understand that this is highly impractical if you have a large number of folders, so I'll escalate this feature request to our development team, so there's an option to sort your folder list. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any ETA for the implementation of this feature, we'll update you on the progress of the implementation of this feature via this thread.


    Feel free to contact us,

    Thanks.

    Hi, Thanks for providing this option.

    Although this works for moving folders it dose not change the drop down list of folders. This would also be helpful.

    Thanks, Robert

    You can change the order of the subfolders similarly, by dragging and dropping them.

    A feature request has been made so that an automatic sorting is made possible.

    We will let you know once we have an update on this.

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    Hi, I think you misunderstood my second question. I understand about drag and drop now but the Drop Down List of Folders is not sort-able.

    Yes, you are correct.

    The order in the Folders dropdown is different from the order in the left sidebar.

    I have created another thread about this issue. You may follow up on this issue in the following link.

    Hi,

    I see a new request for the same thing I was asking about,

    Folders-in-alphabetic-order

    Perhaps this will add to it's importance.

    Best regards, Robert

    Unfortunately, there is no estimated time-frame for an implementation, but the more people request for the same feature, the more chances this could be implemented in a near future.

    Hi,

    I need to start a campaign to boost my ideas.

    Another idea would be for users to be able to view ideas and vote on them.
