Sort Collections in Microsoft Edge

Earlier, Microsoft has received the ability to export Collections to OneNote. Starting in Microsogt Edge Canary 86.0.614.0, it is possible to set the sort order for the collection entries.

The browser provides two new options in the Collection menu behind the three dot button. Using them, you can sort the current Collection by Date created, or by Name, both ascending and  descending.

Note: Microsoft has started delivering Microsoft Edge to users of Windows via Windows Update. The update is provisioned for users of Windows 10 version 1803 and above, and replaces the classic Edge app once installed. The browser, when delivered with KB4559309, makes it impossible to uninstall it from Settings. Check out the following workaround: Uninstall Microsoft Edge If Uninstall Button is Grayed Out.
