Verified feature request does not already exist?

I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I have a large number of accounts. I would like to have a better way of ordering them in the left-hand menu (desktop view) rather than relying on drag and drop.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Ideally, there would be a way to automatically sort accounts under each account group. This could involve an automated function to sort accounts:

alphabetically
By value
By last transaction

UI options would need to be worked up, but there could feasibly be some icon / option on each category group to access sorting (and potentially other future) options.

I have the same use case. Let me propose also that we can have more granular grouping of accounts... on and off budget right now is extremely restrictive. A lot of my accounts have prefixes before them (eg "[C-P1] Account 1") and advanced grouping could let me associate attributes with my accounts for quick search, sorting, and other navigation uses.
