Categories in plugins!

Hello! Perhaps it will be convenient for many to create categories in the plugins section. And in the community, plugins are also divided into categories. When posting a plugin in a community, be sure to select one of the categories.

There is no way to sort the list, the order is not by date, by name, or by use.

That’s not true. The plugins list is sorted alphabetically by name and the list under Settings => Plugins is sorted by install date, meaning newly installed plugins will pop up at the bottom.

But yes, I agree, they should allow custom sorting or even “Plugin folders” where you can sort your plugins into folders.

As far as I can see, the problem is still relevant today. It is strange that there are so few votes in the topic. It’s a daily pain for me when I’m working in Figma and open my list of plugins. I hope this topic still deserves enough attention from the development team and we will see a solution. After all, there are many advanced designers in the community! Maybe conduct some kind of survey to identify possible solutions?

Being able to categorize plugins would be a great feature!

IMO plugins should have their own panel rather than just having them listed on a menu.

I’d love this! The way the most recently used plugin jumps to the top of the list actually throws me off really badly. If I were in control of the ordering I’d have a much easier time finding what I’m looking for!

Highly needed once you start install many plugins.
We can create sections for projects. We should be able to create custom sections for plugins. There are already 3 categories (Recent, Saved, Development) so it just needs the ability to create custom ones.

Gods, I can’t believe Figma developers still didn’t implement this! That seems as a very easy task and I just hate their ignorance about the topic!

Figma please! There are so many basic tools missing from the native app that plugins are the only solution to. Having to navigate a massive list to access these tools is very inefficient. I would love to have the freedom to categorize them like a bookmarks list in chrome. Or even better, let us create a custom dashboard with plugins that stays stuck to the toolbar 😉
