Allow rearranging contacts and groups
The new contact list is now live but it's missing the ability to rearrange contacts and groups by drag and drop like you can now do with teams and recent conversations.
I have quite a few contacts and large groups so sorting them would be very useful.

I have lost half an hour looking for it. It is just impossible that it is missing!

I came here hoping to find the solution, very disappointed that there is none.
Please collapse groups by default and allow drag and drop of contacts and groups (or at least arrange them in alphabetical order). Thank you -

Please add this. I think this is a big miss.

Ridiculous that this was even missed in development. But then the fact that the request was submitted in 2018 and put "On the Backlog" since 2019 is incredibly outrageous. A year and half to add this basic feature that was missed in the roll out???

It would be nice if TEAMS would allow to re-arrange speed dial groups

Collapse groups as well rearrange contacts and groups by drag and drop is really must have feature for all Business Users. Please add this to the teams ASAP.

This is an essential feature and needs to be implemented asap. When working on multiple teams there needs to be a way to easily organise contacts. Come on MS get with the programme!

Was migrated from Skype for Business to Teams recently, discovered my Contact list and groupings had also been migrated from Skype to Teams (this is a good thing). Found that, unlike Skype, am unable to collapse lists in settings. My groups contain lots of names that I categorized in Skype groups for easier management.
Found this thread, now nearly 3 years old, most requests for features like ability to collapse all, or at least retain last configuration user set. Now has 1,587 votes, do not see MS response to these comments. Found other threads with similar requests for expand/collapse features, seems most just languish in the Cloud?
The name implies MS has an interests in usability improvements. Perhaps that assumption is incorrect? Is the purpose of MS Teams UserVoice just to let us collectively complain to one another?

It would be nice to have a keyboard command to collapse all groups and another command to restore all groups

Sometimes contact groups disappear. Then log out and in is required.

Groups today are not even ordered alphabetically. I would appreciate at least this.

This feature was in Skype for Business. Right-click then "Move group up" / "Move group down", on the keyboard [Alt] + [up arrow] or [Alt] + [down arrow], or simply drag and drop.
I call this an essential feature.

This would be a great feature.

This feature must be added of course.
Workaround : Groups are sorted by alphabetical order, so rename group sby starting with a number :
1_xxx
2_bbb
3_yyy -

It would also be preferable to be able to choose between a list of contacts (such as in contacts) or the block view of contacts (such as in speed dial).

This is really must have feature for almost everybody.
Please add this to the teams ASAP. -

Sorting by Status is sorely missed by many of our users.

Par for the course for this slap-together product. Jesus, if you're going to take SFB away from us, at least give us the same functionality.

Someone asked if MS even checks any of these forums since this question/suggestion/request has been around for a year or so. I'd ask does MS even use their products because if they did I think they would of realized that this functionality would be really nice to have. Just my two cents.
