Sorted Container List
If the list of containers becomes longer than a few entries it gets quite annoying to search for the one container you want to use.
Therefore, I would suggest sorting the entries alphabetically.
I'd request an option to sort by "icon".
I'd also request the sort order be customizable.
It would be nice to be able to sort them in a custom order using handles, by name. In addition, it would be an added plus have a search above the list. Grouping would be nice as well, as for example I have several google accounts that I keep in separate tab containers.
Maybe this is all a sign that I'm "abusing" the original design? :-/
I think a first good step would be to have an option in about:config or somewhere that lets you toggle new containers being opened in a sorted order.
So if I open a new banking container it will open to the right of the current banking container.
I just synced the containers to a new browser and the original order is totally messed up and there is no way to manually re-order them. Maybe there is a secret hidden config somewhere I didn't find where the container list config can be edited?
This issue seems to overlap heavily with #330 which was fixed in #1608 and 7.3.0 release is pushed to AMO waiting for review and publish. Are people here happy with that fix for this issue, or should we keep this open?
@groovecoder thanks for asking, there was overlap but I do think that there's value in retaining this as an enhancement request.
My list of containers is not particularly long, but I would have preferred the option of an immediate sort (not a succession of single moves).
This is not lack of gratitude for https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/pull/1608 :-) – it's a subtle but important enhancement that may be greatly appreciated by users whose lists are longer than mine.
Whilst alphabetical makes most sense (to me), I recognise the other use cases.

… synced the containers …
I sync preferences but not add-ons.
Does excluding add-ons also exclude preferences for add-ons?
(The containers that I added to my everyday profile are missing from a test profile, which I synchronised this morning. This surprised me because whilst use of the add-on is commonplace, containers are – essentially – a feature of Firefox.)
Please add alphabetical sorting of containers. I use containers for every site I need to login. The ability to manually sort the list(thanks for that :+1: ) but I prefer to have it alphabetically sorted.
It is a pain if the container names are not automatically sorted, adding a folder will also be helpful.

alphabetically
#1673
Why isnt the alphabetically ordering being implemented? Anyone on the team that can comment?
Hi, just want to add my name to the list. I have a pile of containers and the right click context menu is almost useless. The add-on icon menu is sorted and much easier to use from a functionality standpoint, but the right click option would be faster if this issue was sorted. No pun intended, of course. Great app.
BUMP - please ADD SORTING the list in the RIGHT CLICK TAB MENU (open with) according to the sorted list in container list management.

This can't be done in Multi-Account Container. It needs to be fixed in Firefox itself.
Just wanted to support this idea..... i have over 100 containers, and alphabetical sorting would be amazing!
I want to add my support for this too. At least alphabetical as a default, specifically the right-click "Open in..." menu.
Best option would be that whenever the list is displayed display it in whatever sort order is in the extension drop-down.
