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.

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...

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

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.

Seriously, how is this list sorted anyway? Alphabetical by GUID?

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!
