On the Manage Gateways page, add the ability to sort data sources ascending or descending within a particular gateway. Also, add the ability to categorize data sources within a gateway by 1.) Data Source type and/or 2.) Custom categorization. My team currently has 30+ gateway data sources to manage, and without organization of the gateway data sources, it's difficult to find what you are looking for as an administrator of the gateway.

Sort and search is coming up soon, but categorization is not planned. Please keep voting for categorization.

Also allow Category/folder level security so we can allow users to create/manage their own connections.

Honestly, this should be a no-brainer! If we have these capabilities on File Explorer, why not have them in here? This will make us more productive and efficient when managing our Gateway clusters!

Please do it!!

A-Z should be the default sort order.
Also add swich by date created (and date changed).

Please add this! I also saw an Idea to split the window so the datasource list it scrollable separately from the properties, which would be very helpful. It didn't have many votes yet...

This is a great idea! We have close to 100 connections on our gateway, and even though I can do a CTRL + F to search, having the ability to sort the list alphabetically would be extremely useful.
