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.

    Chat view in Teams should be configurable like Skype for Business was --- we should be able to organize in custom groups, close chat windows and keep a clean look in Team chat.

    Right now Teams chat is a hot mess!

    Microsoft "Teams" development team - Are you really listening to the needs of your customers?
    This is a must have default feature that should have been included in the initial release of "Teams".
    Looking back at the history of the comments from your users about this feature request, this feature was requested as far back as (January 08, 2018 16:19) and as recently as (January 14, 2020 02:45) not including my comment today. Please help your user community by getting this done...

    As with many others below I assumed that an alphabetical sort option would be standard in Teams. Without that ability using Teams is a real pain and will not help adoption.

    Yes please asap. We are moving across to Teams from local network and the majority of staff want the file order to default to A-Z.

    Why is this not a feature yet? Our organization is piloting Teams and without this feature, it will be a no-go for our key stakeholders.

    I'm seeing the Teams Chat contacts in alphabetical order Last Name.
    Any email software has options to choose between firstname or lastname, but I see nothing in Teams.
    I prefer to see an option to choose for sorting on firstname!

    This makes total sense. It would really help to sort teams out, like in school implementations with classes.
