    Currently, the data sources under the data gateway don't have any order. Could you sort them at least by the name? It's hard to work with multiple data sources when they are spread randomly on the list.

    Voted but the latest (preview?) version does have the ability to sort by name, although not yet grouping etc.

    When you are in the Manage Gateway section of the power bi service. It would be nice to have a filtering option to list the connections either in a ascending or descending order.

    RE: Gateway Data Source Ordering

    I agree this is a much needed feature. I absolutely love the idea of being able to group/create folders within the list as well as some have asked for in the comments.

    This is a basic feature that shouldn't need to be asked for...it should just be there.

    Totally agree about grouping/foldering data sources as well.

    RE: Gateway Data Source Ordering

    Agreed, However I would also append to this and suggest there should be the ability to group data sources.

    RE: Gateway Data Source Ordering

    Agreed -- it seems simple enough and makes data source administration a little more efficient.

    RE: Gateway Data Source Ordering

    Every time I look for a data connection I wonder what is the sorting criteria and why they're not listed alphabetically

    This would be fantastic. A very small thing to make life easier. We have 80+ data source, some with similar names, but it's just total randomness.
