Tommy Ip (Jan 12 2017 at 22:29): Tommy Ip (Jan 12 2017 at 22:29):Currently, the stream lists is ordered alphabetically. Given the amount of streams I am subscribed to, I usually need to scroll up and down to find that one that I need. Maybe we could add a feature to reorder the streams manually.
Robert Hönig (Jan 12 2017 at 22:30):Good idea, a drag-and-drop solution would be nice here.
Sampriti Panda (Jan 12 2017 at 22:31):How much harder is it?
Tommy Ip (Jan 12 2017 at 22:31):Maybe have a separate list of streams for most frequently visited streams?
Sampriti Panda (Jan 12 2017 at 22:31):It would be nice to have it, but I think it's adding to the complexity.
Robert Hönig (Jan 12 2017 at 22:32):Or add an option to the gear next to "streams". Users could then select their preference of sorting.
Sampriti Panda (Jan 12 2017 at 22:34):I think having a seperate sorting for frequently visited would be nice.
Alicja Raszkowska (Jan 12 2017 at 22:37):I usually have a few pinned streams I use most frequently
Alicja Raszkowska (Jan 12 2017 at 22:37):and then use the filtering option for finding any streams I want to use that are not pinned
Alicja Raszkowska (Jan 12 2017 at 22:37):or the search bar directly, because it's easier to use
Alicja Raszkowska (Jan 12 2017 at 22:38):also, if a stream has been inactive for a long time, it will be grayed out and below active streams
Alicja Raszkowska (Jan 12 2017 at 22:39):a list of streams from my other realm

Alicja Raszkowska (Jan 12 2017 at 22:39):first pinned streams, then active streams (both including muted streams), and below those - inactive streams
Alicja Raszkowska (Jan 12 2017 at 22:40):having muted pinned streams somehow makes sense for me :)
Alicja Raszkowska (Jan 12 2017 at 22:41):the one disadvantage of frequently used streams I can think of is that the list could change a lot
Alicja Raszkowska (Jan 12 2017 at 22:41):and this could then make it harder to find the streams :)
Robert Hönig (Jan 12 2017 at 22:41):Hm, those are good points. Is there already a doc on ordering Zulip streams that bundles all these features?
Tim Abbott (Jan 12 2017 at 22:41):yeah it's hard to browse things that aren't sorted
Tim Abbott (Jan 12 2017 at 22:42):I think it'd be great to have a "guide" type doc in the /help/ docs about how to combine these features well for organizing your left sidebar
Robert Hönig (Jan 12 2017 at 22:43):I'll quickly create an issue for it.
Alicja Raszkowska (Jan 12 2017 at 22:43):I think inactive streams is the feature that's most confusing - it took me some time to figure out why some of my streams "don't work properly"
Patrick Grave (Jan 12 2017 at 22:44):I just woke up but 
to this suggestion. Sounds like a great feature to me.
Robert Hönig (Jan 12 2017 at 22:49):https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/3272
Patrick Grave (Jan 12 2017 at 22:51):Claimed!
Patrick Grave (Jan 13 2017 at 07:40):Here is a pull request for this issue.
