Feature request - Sort collection requests

[alan-givati]

App Details:

Postman for Mac
Version 6.0.7-canary01
OS X 17.4.0 / x64

Issue Report:

1. I lost the order of my collection requests after an update.
2. Ordering requests manually is time-consuming. Please add a feature to sort a collection; by title would certainly cover my use case. Maybe custom sorting (by any request item property) could also be useful to some.

@alan-givati Update should not change the order of request inside the collection.
Is that the order of collection? or the order of requests inside the collection changed after the update.

[alan-givati]

@SamvelRaja The order of the requests inside each collection was lost, with new seemingly random positions for each request item.

@alan-givati Thanks for the info.
We had an issue in our initial canary versions from 6.0.1-canary01 to 6.0.4-canary01 which lost the order of the request while migrating data from 5.x version to 6.x version.

Can you check the order of the collection in the server, click -> arrow icon in the collection -> in details view -> click the view docs button.

If the order is proper, then logout and login back will fix the problem for you in app.

Anyway, I am forwarding your concern of having sort for requests to our UI/UX team.

@SamvelRaja Understood.
I could not find a "view docs" button. Do you mean "View in web" ? It does not work; I get sent to a URL https://documenter.getpostman.com/collections/{some ID} that displays an error: "404
The resource you're looking for can't be found. Please check the URL before trying again."

Yes, something went wrong here; I see old collections in https://app.getpostman.com/dashboard/collections/private and /team is empty.

@alan-givati This need some more information to debug. Can you send a mail to help[at]getpostman[dot]com with your collection name from your registered email address.

@SamvelRaja Hi Samvel. I sent an email to that address last week. Did you get it?
