Server Version#: 1.25.0.5282  
Player Version#: 4.66.1

I’m not sure if this is related to the server or the client, but im guessing mainly the client  
I have my libraries ordered by number, but in the server, and web client they are sorted by type and then name  
Once I get past the initial setup I have to re-order the pinned libraries

Is there a way to sort the libraries by name from the start on any new clients?

Only the way you’re doing it.  
The default order and the order that’ll remain visible in the `More` section are based on library type, then library names.
