Allow users to create taxonomies/categories to sort streamers they follow.
I would like to be able to sort the streamers I follow into different categories, perhaps based on a taxonomy system. For instance, I follow a lot of Rocket League streamers, I also follow a lot of Zelda streamers, and I follow a lot of musicians. I would like to be able to tag these streamers. So I may tag Rocket League streamers with: "Rocket League," "Games," "Funny," etc. And I may tag music streamers with "Original Music," "Covers," "Funny," etc. Then when I go to my follow page, I could easily sort and display streamers I am in the mood to look at.
In the example above, to take it further, if I clicked "Funny," I would see Rocket League and Music streamers who I've tagged as "Funny," and that's fine with me.
To take it even further, perhaps I could even choose to view other viewers' recommended tags (it could be like the Recommended section at the bottom of the follow page currently), to discover new "Rocket League" streamers or "Original Music" streamers, etc.
Thanks!

More customization options for what channels appear on your "followed channels" list. A single list of followed channels by viewer count doesn't necessarily correspond to a viewer's preference. I would argue most accounts on Twitch follow 10+ accounts, so having the ability to categorize your followed channels (through labeled folders, sort by personal preference, sort by gaming category, etc.) would allow viewers to have a better experience. The ability to "hide" followed channels would also be a feature worth pursuing, as there are many channels that get followed simply as support of the channel but without intent of viewing them on a consistent basis.

Please add the ability to arrange followed games / categories, videos, hosts, and channels into groups on each individual page / tab. Thank you.

All of us want to follow and support a lot of streamers, but the single list of all followed channels sorted in order of current viewers simply doesn't work. It should be possible either to create folders of channels, or apply any number hashtags (or similar) to each channel at any time; limiting it to on initial follow would be awkward for users without keyboards.

I was going to say the same. I think that a lot of users follow a high number of streamers and sometimes sliding all the way down till you find one in specific can be tedious. However, adding folders where each person can categorize its a simple way to fix it.

still not fixed? even the multiple "show more" clicks are getting annoying now

Hi Twitch instead of sorting the followed channels by viewcount or who you watch the most, give people the option on how they want to sort their follow list whether it be watch activity, viewer count high/low or low/high. It'll give each person freedom on how they use this platform.
-Thanks 2C

I would really like to be able to use folders in my list of streamers, to categorize with the game are or what streamers are a priority.
Sorry my English is trash

It was better and easier when the Followed Channels list was auto sorted by viewer count. Now its stuck on mixed and doesn't look and feel right.

Add a feature to the sidebar panel to allow us to categorize the streamers we follow into "folders" that we can collapse/uncollapse similar to Discord server features. Some of us follow a LOT of people and if we are looking to watch a certain kind of content it can be frustrating to go through the whole list to find what we're looking for.

After being on Twitch long enough, it's easy to amass a huge collection of followed streamers that's difficult to browse through and pick from. Rather than have to unfollow people to keep the live feed uncluttered, it would be great to be able to make custom groups of specific streamers within that.
Twitch is testing other methods of sorting the following page, but allowing us to curate our own lists as well would give people even more direct control, letting us organize and browse based on what personalized list of streamers we're in the mood for at any given moment.

I would love to see a favorite list. Some of my favorite streamers aren't at the top and having to continue to scroll through my favorites to see if they are live can be annoying. I would like my "favorites" on the top of my list.

I was thinking about this, great idea

I have and idea (optional) ( hope this is the right place to post) Its like a folder system for the channel you folllow ( and subscribe ) so they dont get all mixed up ! For example you follow 15 streamers ( no matter how much viewers they have ) that you watch everytime they are on. 20 you watch sometimes ! 10 are only stream League of Legends etc. So you sort them into folders( your own categories ) for better management and own navigation !

I'm amazed such an obvious QOL change had not been implemented. Just let users choose how to organize their followed Channels. It's annoying enough to have to dig via web browser or app. It's even worse navigating on the Twitch app on an Apple TV (and I presume any other TV UI). Such a basic ask (whether simple to implement or not), that it should really have been avail years ago.

I have edited the Reddit post to sound more professional. I wish the uservoice had the option to edit the proposals.

Ex. people that play gta role play you can put in a group and people that play certain games you can put them in a category.

Mastani commented
Yes, custom tags (I could sort my followed channels by general genre played by the streamer)

BitAdmin commented
I second this! Could be realized by adding a star icon to the followed panel for each streamer (common method).

Add the ability to add specific streamers to a "favorites" list that will appear at the top of your followed channels. You would be able to have 5-10 "favorite" streamers and since they're all at the top of your followed channels list, you'll easily be able to see if they are live.
