A small button/switch to sort groups by either number of members, creation date (age) or alphabetically would be pretty awesome. Especially a-z to match the order of grouplist when assigning groups for new users.
Have a nice day!

The side-menu's sorting by user count shouldn't be the default view. Especially when you have created groups in a logical naming concept, it seems wiser to display them by default sorted by name and let the user choose another view if necessary.
IMHO these would be very nice features to have. :+1: but the most important feature is renaming groups, since all other can somehow be accomplished or worked around...
so is there any way to rename a group, until this gets implemented?
Yes, renaming groups is very important to me too, cuz I don't want to .. create a group .. give access to the new group .. add all the members to the new group .. and then delete the old group
@Dubidubiduu well, this would be a tedious but still practicable workaround... but i'm concerned about the existing group-shares because with this workaround they will be lost!
and for this case (keeping group-shares) there is no workaround i know; hence the question, if there is any chance to rename a group for now (eventual via manipulating the database, etc.).
C'mon, how can it be soooo difficult to rename a group??
@fredt34 👋 We're a big team working on a lot of different features. Some that are more prioritised than this one. It looks like you're frustrated to not see your desired feature yet implemented. Please note that we're welcoming any contributor that wish to help. It could be really nice if you could start working on this issue. If you need any help, feel free to ask, we'll be glad to assist you! 🤗
Thanks a lot. 👍😉
For the group administrator, it should also be possible to add existing users to his group(s).
Renaming groups is still a much needed feature. Is it currently in development? I'm an admin for a nextcloud installation in a school. We need the ability to rename a class from eg "7a" to "8a" with the beginning of thr next school year. But we want to keep the students in that group/class.
@fenvarien there is a separate issue for this: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/9209 :)
At least the sorting function would be an useful utility. And the Adding of Users inside the group would be neat.
honestly it's really unusual that you can't rename simple group names... sometimes the project focuses on new big features but gets lost in trivial old things.
Nexcloud 19, still cannot rename group?
Hi! I'd like to push this issue! I support it, and would greatly appreciate it!
What is the status here? Can not imagine that it is all too difficult?
We can rename Groups in Nextcloud 25 :)
Now if you tell me that sorting also works, I'll be happy.
Just for information, sorting by
creation date (age)
requires backend changes as the current interface does not provide such information.
the Bulk add group members options are very necessary
What's the status on the Group Sorting, all issues lead to this one but last update is from last year

This is already possible (since ~7 years) using the system config sort_groups_by_name

@susnux - that has done it, thanks
In 29 there will be also an option to sort it on the frontend without loosing the member count.
At this moment the group management is a little hell. Groups are sorted by number of members instead alphabetically, cannot rename groups, etc. I think that this must be improved at least with:
