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.

    Not sure if they've done an update, but my contacts list is at least now alphabetical. :/ Did something happen?

    Yes, please do SOMETHING to help organize these lists. Alphabetical sort would be bare minimum (and default, I would think). Drag and drop would be even better. I guess our Skype contacts haven't been migrated over yet, but even with the handful I've manually added to groups, it's frustrating to scan quickly and find the person I'm looking for.

    Contact groups and their members are static and sorted by when they are added. This does not make Teams feel like a mature product.

    I'd like favorites to be optional. I don't need a favorites category. The option to remove the Favorites, and options to re-order the contacts. I love options.

    Even Alphabetical order would be an improvement. Its really hard to scan the list and find anyone in its current state.

    This should be a fundamental feature in any chat platform. Teams migrated my contacts over from SfB but they're in completely random order. When I remove and readd a contact, it places them at the bottom by default. This needs fixed.

    Contacts in Chat need to allow reordering within Contact Groups. Currently I've tested on the Mac client, Web client and iOS. In most cases, the order listed is the order in which the contact was added to a contact group.

    In my opinion, at the very least the contact groups should have the option (i.e. preference) of automatically sorting them alphabetically. A slightly better way would be to give the user either a "move-up/move-down menu item" or an "up/down arrow" for each contact. IMO, the best case would allow the user to drag/drop the contacts into a more logical order.

    My company is trying to get us to stop using skpe, and this is not an option !

    Horrible. I have a lot of contact groups and I want to organize them just like on Skpe. Please work on this !!!

    We have had this complaint from every team in our Teams pilot. PLEASE enable drag and drop for Contacts.
