Sort accounts #1000

Currently the account order is mystery to me, change the chain will have it jump to some unexpected position.

If will be helpful if the order is something more user friendly. e.g. sort by: account hidden, network, the account name.

It is actually sorted, https://github.com/polkadot-js/extension/blob/master/packages/extension-ui/src/util/buildHierarchy.ts#L65-L76

There is something to be said for defining your own oder, but in reality it will have to wait a long time

It doesn't seems working for me.

Weird. That is completely random as depicted. (Not sure what goes weird, since I have not seen that, but pictures don’t lie)

Different networks have different formats of addresses. Use these to sort them, the order is easy to change network name, path, creation If have record the time when creating or importing account, account can be sort by time so that the order does not change easily.

Maybe just sorting by time would be fine, sorting by network and name would be easy to change due to switching networks
