    Lost favorites and sorted


    I am using Chromium Edge. A Folder got moved and I can not find it so I am assuming that it has been deleted. I would like to be able to restore the folder. Also I sorted the favorites, can I fix that?

    I looked at some suggested fixes but I could not find my folder.

    Thank you
    Nils

    Folder in Favorites lost

    Had a folder in IE favorites named xxxxx favorites with many items in it. Don't know what I may have done but it is gone from the list. When I try to create a new folder it tells me that there is one already there, but it is not. Any suggestion where I might find the lost folder or how to restore it.

  3. How do I sort favorites in alphabetical order?

    Unfortunately, your suggestion does not work. My favorites are listed under "Other" in Edge. When you click on the 3 dots and choose Favorites - Manage Favorites, you are not able to get to right click an empty space beside the list of favorites and choose
    "Sort By Name".
