How to Arrange your Favorites Alphabetically in Microsoft Edge

You can arrange your Favorites alphabetically in Microsoft Edge to keep your saved websites organized.

Microsoft Edge uses “Favorites” to let you quickly access your most visited websites, much like traditional bookmarks. When your list grows long, finding a specific site can become a chore.

Microsoft Edge Favorites can be sorted alphabetically. This sorting method makes finding any saved link easier. Users can achieve this alphabetical sorting in a few simple steps, which significantly improves browsing efficiency for all saved links.

Step 1Go to Your Favorites in Microsoft Edge

Finding your favorites in Microsoft Edge is the first step to sorting them alphabetically.

1. Find the “Favorites” button. Look in the top-right corner of your Microsoft Edge window. You’ll see a few icons. One usually looks like a star. Click this star.
2. If you don’t see the star: Click the three dots (the “Settings and more” menu). Look for “Favorites” in the list. You can also press Ctrl + Shift + O on your keyboard.
3. Click the star icon. A side panel will appear. It shows your Favorites bar and any folders you’ve made. This is where we start organizing.

Step 2Open the Full Favorites Page for Better Organizing

Opening the full Favorites page in Microsoft Edge gives you more control for better organizing than the side panel.

1. Find the “More options” button. In the Favorites panel that popped out, look for another set of three dots. This is the “More options” menu for your favorites.
2. Choose “Open favorites page.” Clicking this will open a new tab just for managing your saved websites. It’s like looking at the whole map before you start moving things.

Step 3How to Sort Favorites Alphabetically

Sorting your favorites alphabetically in Microsoft Edge is a simple process that makes finding your saved sites much faster.

1. 🖱️ Right-click on the Favorites page. Once you are on the full Favorites page (the one in the new tab), find an empty spot. This could be between your favorite links or folders. Do not right-click *on* a link or folder. Click in the empty space where they are shown.
2. Choose “Sort by name” from the menu. A small menu will show up. Find the option that says “Sort by name” and click it. Edge will instantly arrange your top favorites and the items inside any open folders in alphabetical order.

What happens: When you choose “Sort by name,” Edge sorts all the websites and folders shown on the main Favorites page alphabetically, from A to Z. If you have folders, the folders themselves will be sorted alphabetically. Then, the items *inside* each folder will also be sorted alphabetically.
