Setting the order of templates in the dropdown

[emilio]

I am using the built in template system. I was wondering if there is a way to order the available templates. I know i can search by tags but sorta want the most common ones used to be towards the top

I am using the built in template system.

Do you mean those of the templates plugin which you add with this button?

I think those are currently ordered by the number of times they were used. There is a feature request to make the list sortable

Sort order of Templates in the composer

Discourse 2025.12.0-latest, Discourse Templates 2.5.0 Composer → Insert template The templates are displayed in a “random” order – neither alphabetically nor by timestamp – which makes selecting a template harder than necessary. Feature request: Make the template list in the composer sortable.   additional note: The templates were displayed in alphabetical order before. The actual “random” order appeared with the recent update.

thanks. maybe i really just want the ones i use the most compared to others. but I know that may be a bigger lift to do by profile
