Sounds like a good idea. I would not see it exactly as favorites, but adding an option to allow the user to sort channels everywhere including out of its network tab could work pretty great for that. We're already halfway there since we can already sort channels manually in a network.

I think something along these lines could be really useful. Since I idle in a few hundred channels, but only keep a close eye on a handful or so, it'd be really nice if I could sort those out separately. I've had a bit of a look into implementing it myself, but I'm not too familiar with node.js or the similar client-side tech at the moment.

In v3.1.0 we can collapse networks, and only channels with activity will show up. It would be nice if we can pin certain channels so that they show always.

I feel like we need to come at this properly and think about how we should deal with different ways of ordering the channels.

Currently, we try and organise them alphabetically, but if someone has moved one or multiple we half-don't organise them anymore. We should probably sort this into a setting that allows someone to choose how they organise.

I would suggest 2 choices. One regarding grouping, and one regarding sorting.

Grouping:

• Per Server
• Global
• Custom

Sorting:

• Alphabetical
• Custom

Then we don't have the half-sorted system we currently have, and allow people to break them out of their current groupings. This would lead to simpler code and allow people to have their own sorting/grouping. Thoughts?

Obviously, not all of this would happen at once.
