Right now Database collections are displayed in the sequence which they are created. Once the App get big it becomes very difficult to find the collection and it really affects the productivity. Its just a simple feature that I think Adalo can easily do it. It’s actually arranged alphabetically where I have to use some kind of relation but then why not in the main Database collections area?? In the images you can see there are lot of Database collection and its painful to find a specific one easily. ![Image 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/9/b/9bd9872daf3e551d2c6d4a42a67678ed9ab746ee.png) ![Image 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/2/e/2ecb0fce1ff3b455fabcbc09b76898bf50d80ba4.png) ![Image 3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/7/7/779c3b0ed95d330fcfa268af6f8f84c2728d6657.png) ![Image 4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/f/c/fc3b23e573d6a3690b4be6f1bbfd1d1fe41d13dc.png) ---

Carlton Black: no, I’m talking about being able to sort the actual database entries on the back end. When users submit entries to your app, you can only modify those entries as an admin by sorting through them one by one. Adalo has it set to list entries by the created date, which can make it very cumbersome to manage when there are hundreds of entries and you need to modify a specific one. ---
