How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Alphabetical sort option for Teams

Please consider including an option for viewing the teams in alphabetical order. Ideally, there should be a "Default" view which sorts all the teams in ascending order (A-Z) and an option to sort the teams based on most recent activity. Of course, this feature should also be pushed to the mobile app as well.

    What i do is click on the gear icon for "Manage Teams" and there's a list-like view of the Teams I am a part of. Then I can view the teams in alphabetical already. I guess that will work until they update the Default view.

    I have to use MS Teams at work for an organization that has over 6,000 employees, can you imagine the number of times a day people have to experience the consequences of poor software design!?

    In this day and age for paying customers to have to ask for a user-defined sort function as the default view is really inexplicable. How do such fundamentals become added features? For the issue to be around for so long from my point of view there is only one possibility (because I refuse to believe this is a competency issue) and that is something is fundamentally flawed in the software that it cannot be fixed. Which begs the question, what else could be could beflawed that we don't know about?

    Let's face it, Microsoft does not have to listen! Just sitting here, shaking my head in disbelief.

    Team meetings in alpha would be great for teachers!!!! It takes me 30 minutes to take attendance!

    Yes, this is definitely needed. Has MS stated any reason this is not possible or if it is on a roadmap for future release?

    Not only do I want Alpha but I also want order of visit mainly so the current team I am floats to the top. I belong to over 100 teams, there is no using the left pane but yet some of the functionality related to teams and channel management is there. I have to go through settings now which is ideal. So yeah Alpha AND Recent sort options.

    This is what happens when one company basically monopolises office technology. It decides to change what is accepted and efficient practice because it can. WE WANT ALPHANUMERIC ORDER FOR OUR FILES AND FOLDERS IN TEAMS!!! Why is this so hard???!!! Please someone make Microsoft NOT the default.

    Can we PLEASE add an alphabetical sort to the files/folders that sticks around when I navigate away from files? I cannot believe this doesn't exist.
