Question

Listing recurring meetings alphabetically

My meetings are "no fixed time recurring meetings". I have a long list. I have named each recurring meeting according to the name of other person/s attending the meeting. On my phone and iPad the list is organised alphabetically. On my computer there appears to be no obvious system to the way the list is organised. Having the recurring meetings listed alphabetically on my computer would be helpful. How do I do this? Rosalie

I don't know what "I'd send" means.

This started happening to me around the first of the year and it drives me crazy! They used to appear under Recurring Meetings in alphabetical order. So I click on the Meetings tab, then back on Home and the Recurring meetings show up in alphabetical order. Strange work around, but i couldn't figure out how to set the default for Recurring Meetings to be in alphabetical order like they used to be.

I came here looking for an answer to this too. Agreed, used to recurring meetings, no fixed time, would alphabetize. Sometimes it wouldn't and you toggle between home and meetings and it would alphabetize. Now, they show up completely random even by shutting down zoom and reopening or even restarting computer. Is there a Zoom moderator here that can help??

Clicking the "Home" tab, then clicking the "Meetings" tab, restored it to an alphabetical list for me. Thanks!

It didn't restore it to an alphabetical list for me unfortunately.

Right. That always worked for me too until recently as of about a week ago. Are there ANY Zoom moderators here that help? I've been quite disappointed in Zoom customer and technical support recently.

Same problem for me. I would also like to see a Zoom moderator sort this out.

Is this just a user forum without any Zoom moderators or other support? Other companies like Dell , Ring, etc. have moderators there that actually help.

I spent ages on the support chatbot with no luck. Then I discovered, only someone with a Business Account, (not just a paid for account) can talk to a real person, If you are, or know someone who has, a business account, could you or your friend please contact a real person in tech support to sort it problem out. Fingers Crossed.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a business account. I too recently learned that apparently a Pro account is not good enough for live tech support which is absurd. That's why I came here in the apparently misplaced hopes we would have knowledgeable Zoom moderators but, noooo.

here is what I got back from a ticket I created. Despite carefully describing the issue, here is what they said. They clearly don't understand the simple fact that as of about two weeks ago Zoom WOULD automatically display recurring meetings in alphabetical order. I did find a lousy work-around though.... You can search for a meeting with the magnifying glass and then launch the meeting but it is very cumbersome.

"I understand that you have query about arranging your upcoming meetings session appearing in your desktop client or web portal. I am glad to assist you with this.

I did testing and also searched for any updates about the option to arrange meetings on how they appear in the upcoming list and unfortunately as of the moment it does not have any ability to be arranged to a certain way including alphabetically. The meetings will appear depending on their schedule so the meetings at the top are usually the meetings that will start soon. Although this suggestion of a feature to arrange the meeting list by alphabetical seems to be interesting and our engineers would love to hear it from you. I recommend to submit a feature request regarding this so that they can consider including this feature in the future updates.

Let me know if you have further questions. "

I don't know why this worked, but I just clicked on the first name and changed the dates for the recurring meeting. After I saved this, and I have no idea why, my meetings went back to being alphabetized. So maybe that will work for you too.

Regardless of whether this hack works, this is maddening and Zoom should really fix this.

Hi Listener,

I had one client at the top of the list that was not recurring. I edited the date. Then decided I didn't need the listing at all and deleted it. All my recurring clients have 'no fixed date'. I clicked on home, then meetings, and it's all back to being alphabetised. Thank you!

SashaR, thank you SOOO much for this tip! It worked for me as well and I wanted to post in order to let others know this is the FIX! So, go to the first list meeting in your list of meetings, click on edit, click on the meeting time "no fix time" (it'll change from "no fix time" to whatever day/time it currently is) and then change it back to "no fix time." Then go to your list and you'll find when it refreshes, it's alphabetized again! Whoooo whoooo!

I did the same thing as SashaR and it worked too. . .for a bit. And then it reverted. But it seems like if you do that every time (change the top meeting from No Fixed Date to weekly or whatever), it realphabetizes. But this is a really stupid and aggravating bug in the software and Zoom should absolutely fix it.

I just posted it worked for me but I'll be curious to see it it reverts again as you noted. I agree, this is a problem that Zoom should fix. See what I wrote above.

How can we all get more traction from Zoom to actually solve these issues AND have a Zoom moderator on these boards to help out paying customers?? !!

Based on the number of responses to this thread, may I suggest that ALL of us contact Zoom support via their web inquiry form (as we know, we aren't even entitled to phone support even with Pro subscription) and report this en masse. I already have and they don't even acknowledge this already WAS an inherent feature and have asked me to write back to them and submit as a feature request. This isn't a feature request! This is a bug or result of one of their recent upgrades and we need to all tell hem that. I think we should also all add there needs to be a zoom agent or moderator on these boards, just like you find on about every other board like Dell etc. to step in with answers or advice. Not being able to call tech support directly is just the icing on the cake - being sarcastic here now. Here is the link to submit a request to fix and ask why we can't have phone support as paying customers or why there isn't a Zoom agent on these boards. Please sound off if you will write in please!!
