Yes, it is possible to sort the saved components in the left sidebar of Webflow by name instead of by the date they were last created. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open the Webflow designer and go to the project where you want to sort the components.
  2. Click on the "Components" tab on the left sidebar to view all the saved components.
  3. By default, the components are sorted by the date they were last created. To sort them by name, you need to create folders and organize the components within those folders.
  4. To create a folder, click on the "New folder" button at the top of the left sidebar. Give the folder a name and click "Create".
  5. To move a component into a folder, simply click and drag the component onto the folder name in the left sidebar.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to create more folders and organize the components as desired.
  7. Once you have organized the components into folders, you can sort the components within each folder by name.
  8. To sort the components within a folder by name, click on the folder name to expand it and then click on the "Sort by name" button at the top of the components list.
  9. The components within the folder will now be sorted alphabetically by name.
  10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for each folder that you want to sort by name.

By organizing your components into folders and sorting them by name, you can easily navigate and find the components you need in the left sidebar of the Webflow designer.
