Request "Date Began Following" be added to Sort in Following list
I love the label feature of Following, but find it difficult to find a person in the list if I want to apply more than one label when I begin following someone. The first is easy--click on the Add Label in the popup box that comes up after I click the Follow star on an individual. However, when I want to add a second label (such as Actively Changing with End of Line, I have to find the person by scrolling through the list of over a thousand names to find the individual to add the second label.
If we were able to sort by Date Began Following in Descending order, those I began following that day would sort to the top of the list and make them easily accessible.
ALTERNATIVELY, you could add a prompt after adding a label for "Do you want to add another label?" to offer the option.
Thanks for considering!

Both of the above are excellent suggestions. I hope they both get put in place.
Since it can take months to years for programming changes to be developed, tested and released, however, I am taking the liberty of pointing out two features that may cut down the amount of scrolling you need to do.
First, since you know who you just put that first label on, use the Search by Name box to cut the list down to just the person. Here I can cut my list from 784 to 1:
Or, if you don't have too many labels on people, use the filters to show just people with the filter you just added. Using this, I cut my list down to just the two people I put a label on for this example:

I do the same thing. I tend to research a bunch of people and follow interesting stories. I have found this new format very difficult to find who I followed. So I can capture their stories.

Sort Following List By Date Followed
Hi. It would really improve my FamilySearch experience if there was a way to sort the following list by date followed. If I sort it by date changed, it does this for all the people that haven't been changed recently, but all the people that have been changed recently get clumped together either at the top or the bottom of the list. Thanks.
