    This seems like a basic need, you need to be able to organize your channels. Please add this functionality.

    This is sorely needed to align channels with cross-channel standards in an organization. Really strange how I keep seeing situations like this where obviously needed functionality is not delivered in the initial release nor in follow ups for an extended period or never. It’s like tech companies are engaged in a secret war against ease-of-use for their customers.

    Please allow Channels to be organized in a Team. Each time I need to reorganize Channels, I need to create new Channels and re-do my work. Please, please, please!

    would be a great feature as we have many channels under our single team, and some are utilized more often than others

    Much like the Teams can be moved, I'd like to see the same experience for channels within a team. Select, drag and re-order channel within the Team.

    pre-sorting with numbers would be great and announcements and updates to stay at the top

  • David Gordon commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Agreed... I recognize you can drag the teams, but with lots of channels it can be difficult to manage. Viewing the Teams in a list format - like folders/files would be easier. I also agree with being to group Teams.

    IT wll be usefull and more than that we need to define hierarchical levels to group the teams. A simple list quickly becomes unmanageable

  • Ali Sadreddini commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We've gotten around the issue by adding Prefixes to our Channel names with 2 digit numerical values and using the numbers for sorting.

    it's painful and very manual.

  • Ed Carter commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Agreed. Hate that I can't do this. Teams is so far behind in terms of organization.

    100% THIS! Would love to be able to use this like Discord, where I can have an announcement's channel above everything else. Not being able to organize channels is really a handicap!
