Improve group management #5704

Open

Description

@ogarcia

At this moment the group management is a little hell. Groups are sorted by number of members instead alphabetically, cannot rename groups, etc. I think that this must be improved at least with:

    A small button/switch to sort groups by either number of members, creation date (age) or alphabetically would be pretty awesome. Especially a-z to match the order of grouplist when assigning groups for new users.

    Have a nice day!

    The side-menu's sorting by user count shouldn't be the default view. Especially when you have created groups in a logical naming concept, it seems wiser to display them by default sorted by name and let the user choose another view if necessary.

    IMHO these would be very nice features to have. 👍 but the most important feature is renaming groups, since all other can somehow be accomplished or worked around...

    so is there any way to rename a group, until this gets implemented?

    Yes, renaming groups is very important to me too, cuz I don't want to
    .. create a group
    .. give access to the new group
    .. add all the members to the new group
    .. and then delete the old group

    @Dubidubiduu well, this would be a tedious but still practicable workaround... but i'm concerned about the existing group-shares because with this workaround they will be lost!

    and for this case (keeping group-shares) there is no workaround i know; hence the question, if there is any chance to rename a group for now (eventual via manipulating the database, etc.).
