Organizing Starred Folders

I would like to be able to alphabetize my starred folders. Our company uses drop box for all of our hundreds of projects. As a project manager I utilize the star feature to quickly access the projects I am working on. There is no way to alphabetize these folders once starred so it is becoming difficult to navigate through the list.

    This idea has been delivered!
     
    Last year, the Recents and Starred sections were removed from the left navigation and integrated as filters within All Files on the website. 
     
    You can select these filters to see the same list of recently accessed or starred items from your main folder.

    Chris,

    Your understanding is correct. A filter option would be nice for the user to customize their "Starred" folder. Weather it is alphabetizing, ascending, descending, date starred, It's all good with me. I prefer alphabetized lists. Currently, there is no rhyme or reason with the  starred folder organization and I find myself wasting time searching through my list. This defeats the purpose (in my opinion), as the feature is supposed to make the process easier. Thanks!

    Hi James! Thanks for the idea on this. 

    So I can understand your need in more detail, it sounds like you use Starred folders so that you can keep track of things that you care about within your companies broader folder structure.

    Do you have any thoughts on whether it would be more useful to have a different way to filter Starred folders or whether you would prefer to be able to add folders/projects you're tracking to your own navigation (for only you, not the company)?
