In Edge Collections, how do I sort collections alphabetically? It used to be easy to do.

The method to sort collections by name does not work anymore. Why are all the webpages that explain the old method not removed from their web sites. When you Google for sites to show you in 2024 to sort it, you get only list of useless web sites and videos. Microsoft has never revealed when and why they took that method off.

Over the years it has become remarkably shameful, the lack of communication between MS and its band of merry users. I recall a similar problem with printer issues after a Windows update, days, weeks months of frustration, followed by despair that led to eventual thoughts of returning to smoke signals. However I am a stumbler, a bumbler an all day grump that never yields to technology despite my strongest suit "tech-wise" being the ability to manipulate the on-off mechanisms. I found the --a-- solution and posted it so perhaps someone will discover a method to ease our pain. However, Microsoft is the archetypical suzerain for big business customer relations; I have come to expect no ex cathedra statements or enlightenment of any sort from this organization.

No explanation about this issue from Microsoft which is very disappointing.

Just sent Feedback to the Edge group on this issue. Can't believe this alpha sort was taken away when it was there to begin with. Can anyone explain why this "needed" to be removed?

Maybe if more people provide feedback - hint, hint - it will cause alpha sort to be put back where it was.

I've just spent half an hour reordering my collections manually, which renders the feature unworkable (I have 45 odd collections)

Collections used to be a really attractive reason to use Microsoft Edge, with a great visual presentation.

For me this change is a deal breaker, as I suspect it would be for anyone with more than a handful of collections.
