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.

RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources
How is this not a thing?! With tons of connections it's going to be impossible to keep them all organised. This needs to happen.
RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources
Please do this soon! Us admins are desperate!

There are similar request in other threads. Votes from the other threads should be added to this onehttps ://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/search-ideas/?q=gateway%20sort
RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources
When the number of connections increases in the gateway, the list gets longer and harder to manage. In my company we have ~40 connections configured and growing quickly.
I'd like to see ways of organizing the connections into folders (could have it based on a business unit , application etc.) .
At the very least, please make the sequence of connection names alphabetic
RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources
Enable folder creation for managing data gateways. This will allow Data Sources to be organized into containers. Example, Sales Data Sources, Finance Data Sources, or SQL data Sources, SharePoint data sources.
RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources
In the "Manage Gateways" page, allow some sort of organization of gateways and data sources. Data sources are currently arranged in the order they were added, which makes it harder to locate a source or manage multiple sources. Some sort of organization is needed, even if its just sorting them alphabetically. Ideally there would be options for searching, sorting, or nesting based on name, date, data source type, privacy level, user, etc.
RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources
We have over 500 gateways and it is difficult to locate a particular item. Alphabetical order would be appreciated.
RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources
Custom categorization for Data Conetion by Customers, Context and System.
This will great!
RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources
Definitely agree with folders, categorization and sorting.
And please put security on the folders, so we can allow users to create/manage their own connections!
We are a big company and it's just a mess even with naming conventions.
RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources
Also allow Category/folder level security so we can allow users to create/manage their own connections.
We have hundreds of connections to manage.
