anyone know why my followed CHANNELS in Apple News can't be sorted alphabetically? i'm THISCLOSE to using Apple News as my only news reader but i have probably 50+ followed channels and its driving me nuts that i can't automatically sort them.

submitted a feedback request but who knows...

Although I'm not sure alphabetical sorting is all that helpful. The prior iOS 11 (I believe) version had that; not my favorite way to sort. I do like that with this iOS12 version you can at least re-arrange the sources manually, so you can put your most read ones at the top.

I am more upset about the fact that they put History & Saved articles links alllllllll the damn way at the bottom. It is not quick or easy to get to. iOS11 news.app had five tabs/buttons at the bottom with one of them being Saved with history. iOS12 news.app reduced the tabs/buttons to three, getting rid of the Search and Saved/History and hiding them both under Channels.
