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.

A must! We are closing in on 100+ data sources and it's just a mess!

Yes! The ability to sort, search and create metadata on connections would be incredibly helpful.

This should be very easy to do - low hanging fruit!

This should be just the start of a much better way to manage data sources in gateways - need the ability to search for attributes across hundreds of connections in our 15 gateways, filter by labels/attributes, export to Excel, discover in Power BI Desktop, detect duplicates, etc

A sorted list (custom would be great) is needed!

A sorted list is definitely needed.

Was just about to write a simular request.
For managing own metadata exporting all data sources to Excel would also be a good feature.

Agree with others. Way too much time wasted just looking for the correct gateway.

RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources

Totally agree. Ideally it would be possible to sort and manage in any way you want, i.e. creating sub folders, ordering by name, ordering by type, etc.
