At the moment, I can sort aliases by the "Alias" column, regardless of what domain name they are using. Given the aliases 01234@omega.com and 56789@alpha.com they would appear in ascending alphabetical order as follows.

01234@omega.com
56789@alpha.com

I would like the alpha.com domain to appear on top of the omega.com domain. In this very simple example with only two aliases, this can be easily achieved by reversing the order (from ascending to descending). But as you can imagine, it gets more complicated as you add more and more aliases with varying names.

I propose that you add a "Domain" column to enable sorting by domain name.

Alias            Domain ↑
==========================
56789@alpha.com  alpha.com
01234@omega.com  omega.com

In addition, I propose that you add an option to filter aliases by their domain name (next to the "Hide Deleted", "Show Deleted", "Deleted Only" filters).

This would allow us to more easily locate the aliases of interest in a systematic fashion where we can view them all at a glance rather than doing one by one search for each of them. Like for example, I am currently replacing my aliases that use the shared domain name anonaddy.me with new aliases using my own custom domain. A simple feature like sorting and filtering based on domain name would make this – otherwise painstaking and tedious – process much easier for me.

I just found I can filter the domain names of interest by inputting only the domain name in the search box. This makes sorting by domain name redundant as a means of differentiating certain domain names like anonaddy.me from the rest. I think a dedicated filter option would be more intuitive, and as for the "Domain" column, it could be made optional where you can customize what columns you want to see. Food for thought?

Yes, I agree I will make it much easier to use and filter columns when I redo the entire web app's user interface.

I suspected as much. 😊 I can see that you're working on a redesign. I just wanted to put the idea out there. Looking forward to the new design! 😉

You can now sort aliases by their domain name, you can also click through on any custom domain to see all the aliases that belong to it.
