Update: The latest Zoom update Version: 5.17.5 (31030) has resolved the issue of meetings not sorting alphabetically! Hurray!

Hello,

Since the latest update of Zoom, my Recurring Meetings are no longer sorted Alphabetically. Has anyone found a solution for this? I have tried searching the Knowledge Base.

Thank you.

Mine does that too sometimes, at randpom, but next tme I go back it's muddled again and will not sort.

It is not random. They used to sort alphabetically by the name the user gives to the meeting. Now they sort numerically by the random meeting ID assigned by Zoom. Clearly the techs know nothing about this because they did not even appear to know how they get ordered numerically. This should be a very easy fix.

It's a bug and we plan to fix it in zoom client 5.17.5.

This is the 2nd thing that Zoom has removed that makes the platform more annoying.

1. You can no longer set up meetings with no fixed date within the apo that is already open on your computer. You have to go to Zoom.com to do that.

2. Meeting participants no longer being in alphabetical order.

This is so frustrating. Are they wanting us to leave the platform???

Just wanted to add my voice to the topic. Same problem. Sorting has become random, and it rearranges itself sometimes, but then goes back to not. I have a regular calendar for the whole school year, and so I only use recurring meetings. It used to be so nice and easy. It's ridiculous that they refuse to acknowledge that it used to work well, and they're taking away functions instead of adding them.

Yes, all of this! It is horribly frustrating!! And it used to be so easy - it stings even more having something and losing it. I'm not sure why they're lowering the quality of their service.

This has been discussed a lot in another post I've been following and posting in. Indeed it is a huge problem that Zoom didn't seem to acknowledge. Please take a moment to create your own ticket and if you aren't satisified with the response, ask for a tier escalation. I just heard back from tier 2 and they have now acknowledged it was a bug that is now supposedly fixed. I just checked in desktop client app and it does work, but doesn't if you are using web version. I replied it also needs to be fixed in the web version. Unfortunately, zoom forces me to use BOTH the web and desktop app. If you notice, you can't make recurring meetings for no fixed time in the app, but you CAN in the web version. So I schedule meetings in the app, but just the client to quickly launch a meeting because now it's alphabetical there. Silly one format doesn't do everything the other does! In fact, I just created a ticket for that too so please consider submitting two tickets. Here is the link:
