About This Feature

Overview

Sort Users is a directory management feature in the WPS 365 admin console for adjusting how members are displayed within a department directory on Windows. It is useful for teams that need a clearer member order in the company address book and for admins looking for how to sort users in WPS on Windows.

Core capabilities include:

Manual drag-and-drop sorting: Drag member names directly to change their display order.
Quick pin-to-top action: Use the Pin to Top button to move a selected member closer to the top of the list.

This feature is suitable for maintaining department directories, highlighting managers or key contacts, and improving browsing order for large teams. After the adjustment is completed, the member display order in the directory updates accordingly.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports manual member reordering within a department directory and lets admins move selected members toward the top with a dedicated action.	Microsoft Word can sort one-level lists alphabetically in ascending or descending order, which is designed for document content rather than enterprise directory member display order.	Google Docs can sort table rows in ascending or descending order, which helps organize document tables but does not provide a department member directory sorting entry.	Notion can sort database items by property in ascending or descending order, which fits database views and project records rather than a built-in enterprise directory member list.	Adobe Acrobat help content covers viewing and managing comments, but the official page does not describe a comparable enterprise member directory sorting feature.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Built for enterprise directory member display management. Distinct: Combines drag-and-drop sorting with a quick pin-to-top action in the same workflow.	Compared with WPS: Focuses on sorting document text lists instead of managing member order in an organizational directory.	Compared with WPS: Supports table sorting in documents, but not member display order inside an org structure.	Compared with WPS: Supports property-based sorting after a database is set up, but it is not a ready-made department directory management entry.	Compared with WPS: The referenced help page focuses on PDF comment review rather than member ordering in a company directory.

Overall Conclusion: WPS Sort Users is more closely aligned with enterprise directory maintenance because it is designed for department member display order management. The compared products mainly provide sorting for document lists, tables, databases, or review items, so their entry points and use cases are different.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main pain point	How this feature helps
1	Reorder a department directory	Enterprise admins	The current member order is not convenient for daily lookup	Open the sorting page and drag members into the preferred order
2	Keep a department lead near the top	Department admins	Important contacts are not visible enough	Use Pin to Top to move the lead closer to the front
3	Reorganize the list after new members join	HR or admin staff	New members appear at the end and are harder to find	Re-enter the sorting page and adjust the new member position manually
4	Align display order with internal rules	Operations staff	The directory order does not match internal management rules	Drag members one by one and exit sorting after the update
5	Improve browsing in large departments	Admin-console maintainers	It takes longer to find key people in long member lists	Move key members upward and refine the order for frequent contacts
