Any chance of getting automatic sorting of items in resources??

While I would prefer alphabetical, possibly a way to specify what kind of sorting you want would be even better!!

Or, is that already possible and I have completely missed on how to do that??

Thanks!!

Yes, that would be very handy — It’s on our list of features to add, but I can’t say how soon it’ll make it into the beta.

PLEASE, make this happen it is a pain working with resources as they end up all over the place. I’m so anal I tend to manually sort them to more easily find them, but we should just be able to sort them.

For me resources are a critical part of Elements, so it needs to just work. There are a lot of issues related to working with resources that I feel need to be addressed to improve workflow. The singularly most critical one is that when adding or manipulating resources the editor will scroll to the top, so you lose the place you were working. Painful.
