The Sorting feature in Collections is very nice, and helpful, and a time saver when looking for something out the several Collections and files. But………
But unfortunately, it is pretty useless since it doesn’t STAY sorted. Every time I sign on, if I want to use a ‘sorted’ Collections, I have to initiate the sort first, or just forget about it and scroll to find what I want.
Still awaiting a resolution………………
Why do I have to RE-sort my MS Edge ‘Collections’ every time I access it?
