Edge Collections update issues

Why did Microsoft Edge Collections update lose ability to sort by collection name or by recently used? With over 140 collections, this makes using this very difficult. Am I just missing something?

    Casey, I very much agree with you. I was just trying to make Luiz realise that ! My wife spent hours manually sorting her list of collections into something sensible. You do wonder what's in the head of the software developers sometimes. Do they ever really think about their users ??

    When I access Collections I am no longer able to sort at all. I am not sure how the collections are organized when I open in the side panel. Looks rather random but might be the most recently added first.

    As I think I said, before I opened it today and waited for the update to finish, I was as best I remember able to sort by name, by most recently accessed, and date created.

    The only options I get now when I click on the more options dots at the top are Manage and Learn More. Manage open a Reorder tab, but that is all.

    This is kinda crazy as it make having a large collection pretty useless.

    You say you can sort Edge collections by name, but I no longer see a way to do any sorting.

    OK, you have said it is possible to sort the list of collections by name.

    Please tell us how to do that.

    David, I don't believe Luiz was correct. I am in the process of moving all the links out of my Collections as this is hugely frustrating -- and almost useless -- with all the capabilities they've removed.

    Help! The upgrade to Microsoft Collections does not have a sort feature! Is it possible to revert back to the previous version?

    Thank you, but renaming a collection is not my problem. Sorry if I was unlear.

    I want to be able to SORT my collections. By name, by date created, last used, ... that was possible before the update I received yesterday, but is not an option now.
