Allow grouping of favorite questions

Question

There are many, many old posts on meta asking for suggestions on how to better organize favorites. 1, 2 and 3, among others.

This is not meant to be an open discussion on how to improve favorites, but rather a specific feature request that I'd like feedback on.

---

I would love to see a feature added that would let users arbitrarily create "groups" of favorites, and drag individual favorited questions under these groups. I have about 2 pages of favorites (I know others have much more), and finding an individual one is quite difficult, especially since the specific question title is usually forgotten. I just added this question to my favorites, since I liked Andrew Whitaker's answer, and might want to come back and look at it later; I'd love to add this to a group called, say, "Useful Code".

I've favorited other posts since they had neat tricks in them, or because there were answers written on interesting theoretical computer science topics. Having different groups for all these areas would be immensely helpful in finding posts later.

Answer 1

With the launch of the Saves feature recently, this is now possible. Custom lists can be created to organize your favorite saved content (now supporting saving answers as well!) As such, I've added the status-completed label.

Answer 2

While they’re not arbitrary groups, your favorite questions are already sorted into groups — they’re just normal question tags. You can search for:

Infavorites:mine [sporks]

to find all your favorite spork questions. In fact, because this is a regular search, you can use any advanced or non-advanced search feature that you would normally use to find a question.

(And if you can’t find the question about bread you’re looking for when you search for [butter-knife] Infavorites:mine toast you could consider editing the question to add more relevant keywords — hopefully you’ll help someone else find the question too.)
