Dashboard Studio Data source overview

It is the little things that bug me sometimes.  I there anyway to cause the Dashboard Studio Data Source Overview list to sort by the Data Source name.

Hi @Wooly 

Unfortunately it’s currently not possible to automatically sort them in the UI as they are listed in order they are created as they are appended to the JSON.
one thing you could do however is to reorder them within the source code of the dashboard if you are comfortable editing the raw JSON. They should then appear in the specified order in the UI.

I dont think there is any built-in option to sort this. To have a quick visual sort, prefix your data source names with numbers/letters(01_Search1,02_Search2...)

You can also submit a feature request for the same.
