Hi Sarah, Data libraries are in an active enhancement phase. There are many changes recent, in progress, and planned that you can review in Trello. This is one of them, and the specific card is here: https://trello.com/c/0RnzM6lP For now, uploading with the name you wish to use in the UI is how to achieve the desired sort. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I uploaded a bunch of files to the Galaxy data libraries with the option "Upload files from filesystem paths" and "Link to files without copying to Galaxy". Afterwards I edited the names that are displayed in Galaxy. However, now the files are not alphabetically sorted anymore. I tried moving them around, but the order stayed the same. Is this on purpose and is there a way to change it?
