On the Manage Gateways page, add the ability to sort data sources ascending or descending within a particular gateway. Also, add the ability to categorize data sources within a gateway by 1.) Data Source type and/or 2.) Custom categorization. My team currently has 30+ gateway data sources to manage, and without organization of the gateway data sources, it's difficult to find what you are looking for as an administrator of the gateway.

Sort and search is coming up soon, but categorization is not planned. Please keep voting for categorization.

Getting higher and higher on the priority list as we use Power BI more and more. Gateway names are becoming very messy and difficult to maintain!

I agree, we have over 100 data sources. We must have, at minimum, a sort for the sources. Thank you

At a minimum alphabetical ordering. When I enter new data sources it does not even list them in the order they were entered. It's totally random.

How are large enterprises supposed to use this in current state? Makes one wonder if Microsoft is even using this product. sigh

Again these is basic stuff, surprised the Gateway has been out there for so long without this functionality.

I do agree, this would be much helpful to manage mutiple sources.

Agree. We need to be able to search somehow. The passwords are not easy to change with so many gateway/ data sources when you need to find one, and as for now we need to maintain a separated database with the information of the data sources name locally.

RE: Add the ability to Sort (A,Z) and Categorize Gateway Data Sources

Absolutely agree, alphabetically makes the most sense, and any way of organising with folders/nesting etc. would be hugely benificial
