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.

Have just been forced migrated to Teams, after struggling with migrating my contact groups it now shows that this functionality is at kindergarten stage. Please fix ASAP
Also all groups fan out every time you go in and out of Contacts :(

Just switched to Teams from Skype. With so many people working from home, I really appreciated being able to see people's active/inactive/busy/offline status.
But because Teams doesn't provide any way to pin certain contacts to the top of the members list (like coworkers I work with most often), and DOESN'T EVEN SORT MEMBERS ALPHABETICALLY, IT IS 100% USELESS for this purpose.

If Teams is a replacement for Skype, then this IS A BUG not a feature request. Also, the state of Contact Groups DOES NOT PERSIST as it did in Skype. Very poor and premature rollout of Teams. I work for a government entity so i am unable to roll back to Skype, but if it was me footing the bill, i'd go back

I started with Teams a few months ago, and was surprised that this doesn't work. It's hard to believe that there's still no progress on this after two years.
The more I use Teams, the more I find that basic functionality is missing.
But at least you can now video chat with a group and see them all in auditorium-style seats!</sarcasm>

Is this on the radar screen - it would be so helpful and useful.
I see this has been hanging around for nearly 2 years - is anybody from Microsoft going to respond?

Please add feature to modify existing contact group membership rather than removing and add it again .

Agree. Within 5 minutes after migration I started looking for the possibility to edit groups and rearrange contacts. Import from SfB should be available so at least one didn't have to recreate the favorites. This is really early 90-ies level of functionality in my mind.

Why I must move from skype from business to teams when SfB allow contact reorder for years? By the way icq could rearrange contact 25 years ago.

In general, I think the Teams UI stinks. I really do expect more from a company as resourced and experienced as Microsoft. Didn't they do any internal user testing? We can't be the only ones to think of these things.

It's sad that a paid product lacks such simple UI features that any other free product has.
To move a contact to another group, I have to remove it, find and add again, this is really frustrating.

Our company just moved from Skype to Teams. I am not at all happy with the UI design for Chat. It is extremely irritating to use. Please consider the following suggestions.
1. Allow me to arrange my chat groups in the order that works for me.
2. Allow me to rename, move, or otherwise manage the Favorites group.
3. Allow me to move contacts between groups without a manual process.
4. When there is a New Chat alert, I have to dig to find it. Please surface new chats.
5. PLEASE add a separate category and alert for meeting chats!!
6. PLEASE add the ability to silence chats from meetings that I am invited to but not attending. It is extremely irritating to have continuous popups from one meeting when I am attending a different meeting.Thank you.

Just put numbers in front of your groups' names. Sorting will be handled numerically instead of alpha order.
1. Sales
2. Account Management
3. Consultants
4. Bread & Butter -
