Sort requests in folder, alphabetically

[karlmacklin]

I would like to have a button to sort the requests in a collection folder, alphabetically, with a single click.

The current sorting is manual and if you have a large collection of requests that you have created over time, that big mess could quickly be solved by such a button, and not so quickly by manual work dragging and dropping.

This would definitely be a great feature to have

I see this sort button in the docs which doesn't appear on my setup. Was it removed or is it just a concept?

@DeadDuck, you're not alone. I am having same issue. +1

[johnli2210]

@DeadDuck Yep, I'm also seeing this issue. It looks like this feature is available in the Chrome App, but not on native Desktop App (for Mac OS at least) yet. I guess it just hasn't yet been ported over; perhaps it's harder to implement on Desktop?

+1 on adding ability to sort in both collection level and folder level

[badmansan]

Any plans to add this feature?

[yashbhutwala]

+1. I have collections with 100s of entries. Manually sorting through drag-and-drop is difficult and time-consuming. Hell, make it a premium feature if you must but sorting is sorely needed.

Also, It'd be great to have a sort for JSON data inside each request too.

I also want this, so I knocked out a quick npm module to sort an exported collection by name and verb.

https://github.com/matthewlein/postman-collection-sorter

Usage

1. In Postman, export your collection as a Collection v2.1

2. Run:

   npx @matthewlein/postman-collection-sorter ./path/to/your/API.postman_collection.json

3. You should see output like:

Sorting collection file:  ./path/to/your/API.postman_collection.json
Sorting Successful!
Sorted collection saved to: ./path/to/your/API.postman_collection.sorted.json

4. In Postman, import the new sorted JSON file.
5. Enjoy that sweet sweet alphabetical sorting.

Thanks you for this solution, worked like a charm. Melts my mind that this is required and not a button yet, though.

...how is it possible that you can't yet sort collections in almost 2022?

Great little utility. thanks a lot for sharing the tool and appreciate the time you spent creating it.
