Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/315

When lists are created in Hoarder, they're always displayed in the order that they were created. Once you have enough lists, it becomes a bit less convenient to scan the sidebar for the right one. Would an alphabetical sort for lists be a useful addition for anyone else?

Thanks for considering it!

(Side note: I tried digging into the code base to see if I could add this feature, but I quickly got overwhelmed by the task. If anyone has suggestions for where I might be able to pick up more useful TypeScript, I'd love to be able to tackle more of these requests myself 😊)

I personally believe it makes sense. I was hoping to actually allow ordering them any way you want, but ordering alphabetically makes sense either way. Sorting them however you want is much more complicated, so even as an intermediary step it would make sense in my opinion

Yes! :) I was just thinking that after creating the 15th list today...

I still think there's a need for sorting by date. It currently sorts by latest first, but I have 1900+ bookmarks I imported and I have to press "Load more" 1900/20 = 85 times before I get to the first one. (I don't know what is the first bookmark, just in case some one wants to suggest to search for it or go to it via a tag).

I need to clean up my bookmarks which have been "hoarded" for over the last 15 years and hence traversal between each and between pages is important to me.

It also needs pagination functionality (rather than load more onto one page), but will be creating a feature request for it.

@raviwarrier This issue is about sorting the list names in the sidebar. Having different ordering for bookmarks in the grid makes a lot of sense, please open another issue for it.
