Sort / Order Channels
I would like to be able to order or arrange the channels as they are listed under my team. We can order tabs within a channel, but not channels under a team.

Yes, we need a way to reorder channels within a Team. Currently the workaround we are doing is adding numbers but that does not work if some channels are private and not everyone can see all the channels.

Yes I agree it would be nice to have an easy way to select channels and teams as favorites like in Outlook.

The workarounds by adding / changing the numbers in front of a Channel name as priorities shift is a nightmare as it doesn't change the SharePoint names / folders and anything else that's in the background of it.

Making an order of channels per User possible would be great, but allowing the team owner to do some new ordering would be sufficient.
Reason for team owners needing this functionality: As renaming the channel still leads to confusion concerning the name of the SharePoint document folder, just renaming a now more important channel so it moves to the top is a bad idea.
Reason for users to be able to sort for themselves: in a larger team with lots of channels, some channels might be more important to some users than other or have other priorities - simply hiding or unhiding is not always the solution - sometimes I want to see 5 channels, but in a different order than alphabetically sorted :-(

This is a critical functionality for the use of Teams for courses in higher education.

Agree! I work with academics using Teams for learning and teaching - it would be great for them to be able to shift channels to the top of the list as they become important - eg an 'exam revision' channel at the end of semester.

This would be really useful - sticking a number in front of a title to get it to the top seems pretty amateur

This would be great improvement.

Would this option apply to everyone's view of a Team - or could it be user-based? In other words, if I were able to reorder the Channels, would all other users see my new order?

Good idea.
Now as there is also the same need for tabs within a channel (even more important to me) and that the contribution says you can already do so, I'm wondering how this can be done. -

Especially when a Team site can have up to 200 channels, it's crazy not to have a way of sorting them, ordering them, grouping them.

Our team has quite a few channels, but some are much more important than others (eg channels with the sole purpose of being a place for external notifications/webhooks to be logged), and we would like to be able to sort those channels to the bottom of the list, keeping the most important conversations organised at the top
