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.

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.

Getting higher and higher on the priority list as we use Power BI more and more. Gateway names are becoming very messy and difficult to maintain!
