How to Sort Collections by Name, Date and Recently used in Microsoft Edge.
Microsoft has updated the very own Collections feature of the Edge browser by bringing more sorting options to the collection list. Earlier, the company made it possible to sort items in a collection by name, date created and recently used time. Now the same can be done to the Collection list.

Collections is an exclusive feature of the Edge browser. You can consider them an alternative to classic bookmarks. With Collections, you can arrange several links into a group. Inside that group, links will appear with previews, so it is easy to find one at a glance.
You can manage your Collections, export and import them using a useful GUI. Microsoft is actively working on this feature, so it regularly receives visual improvements and new features. There is integration with Pinterest and OneNote, Word, Excel, and other interesting features. Edge can sync your Collections between your devices, including your smartphone when you are signed with a Microsoft Account. You can open Collections with the Ctrl+Shift+Y keyboard shortcut or via a special toolbar button.
Earlier, you could sort the Collection entries by their creation date and name. Starting in Edge 90.0.815.0, the similar options are available for the Collection list as well.
