I can’t work out what order the Groups are listed in. Can I change it to be alphabetical?

I think they’re in alphabetical order already?

I think alphabetical order of the name, which can be different of the localized display_name for automatic groups (staff for instance) and different of the full_name for normal groups.

Yes, this explains why the Groups page looks so odd as it’s ordered by a property that isn’t visible until you click on the group to then see the details of it. The “Discourse Team” appears in the list after “Support - Discourse for Teams” because “Discourse Team” is actually just “team”. I’m gues…

What order are Groups listed in? And can I change it?

They’re in alphabetical order by Name rather than Full Name.
