Favorites organization

[cavalierking]

I want to organize my Favorites alphabetically. I used to do this with WIN8.1/IE11. It is horrible to have all my Favs mixed up. I have a long list.

Hi cavalierking,

At the moment organzing alphabetically in the automated sense is not possible using Microsoft Edge.

If you open the Favorites hub you can left-click, hold and drag links around to resort them.

If you all ready have heaps of links disorganized that of course will be a chore.

As a work around - I say this as I am sure many have used Windows 10 Feedback to ask Microsoft to give us this feature back in Edge - you can do this:

• Open Chrome browser (if you have not all ready done so, download and install it)
• In top right corner of Chrome click the three horizontal lined icon | click Bookmarks > Import bookmarks and settings
• Select Microsoft Edge | check Favorites/Bookmarks | click Import
• This ought to give you a nice alphabetically ordered list. If not, then you can click Bookmarks > Bookmark manager and do a simple tidy there
• Once satisfied close Chrome
• Next open Microsoft Edge | manually remove the favorites | close Hub
• Next reopen Favorites Hub and at top right click the favorites settings link
• Check Chrome | click Import

Regards,

As cavalierking has pointed out, this feature doesn't currently exist. But the folks in the Windows Insider program have been testing a version of Edge that does support sorting. This feature is expected to appear in July with the Anniversary Update to Windows 10.

Meanwhile, you can use a 3rd-party application called EdgeManage to sort your favorites (no waiting!)
