Sounds reasonable! @erickrico / @nijikokun thoughts on a sort drop-down next to the filter? This drop-down can contain ordering fields such as "name, date created, last updated". Icon withstanding, just used fa-sort 😄

As an note for anybody looking to pick this up, it should be somewhat straightforward to implement. The ordering is controlled by a metaSortKey property on a request and request-group. The sidebar children are automatically ordered on fetching from redux.

If the metaSortKey properties are updated, the sidebar will reflect that. Use the App._moveDoc implementation as inspiration for updating the sort order. 😄

Additionally, after ordering I would expect that the active/selected request remains the same.

Hello, I'd like to try my hand at this. Where can I find the request properties?

agree, we could use this selected state for the sort by dropdown

Hi @asharonbaltazar!

Here are the models with the property on them:

I've never done something this advanced in someone else's project, but I can try my hand at it for a day.

Try and break it down into small pieces, and see how you get on. 🤗

Hello, I'm having trouble setting up the environment. Is there a group where I can ask questions?

Hi, I'm trying to work my way through the code to make an attempt here. The details added so far were helpful! I'll try to add one type of sorting and will update here.

Added a pull request. The basic feature is in, but I had some things I needed help with. I've asked them on the PR itself.
