Sort Favorite Channels in Live TV Guide

Sorry if this is a duplicate. It doesn’t show me on mobile if my topic is duplicate.

Please give us the ability to sort our Favorites from the Live TV Guide. Right now the way I have to do it on iOS at least is to unfavorite and then re-favorite.

y’all have been adding new channels that I like and favorite but I always have to scroll to the bottom of my favorites to watch them.

I don’t think Live TV is a priority for Plex developers. Live TV was released in 2017, and it’s 2025. You can do a lot more customization with alternative apps. Channels and Tivmate specifically focus on Live TV, while the developers for Plex focus on content in a library.

Eh, I’d beg to differ. It’s a way Plex makes money with Live TV ad breaks. If it wasn’t a priority, they wouldn’t keep adding new channels and ads to their Live TV system. :person_shrugging:

I’m talking about features, not being able to view Live TV. IMO, you can still watch those channels, but you’re not going to get favorites to appear on the top of the Guide.

@gibit this is still doable however not in iOS or iPadOS (that I’ve found)

On the Roku app (new experience) I am still able to “Manage Favorite Channels” by going to my favorites, highlighting the programming on a channel and hitting the gear icon on my Roku remote, which presents the sidebar on the right and allows re-ordering.

On Plex Web, you can hit the “…” on any favorite and choose “Reorder”.

I’m sure, eventually, the mobile apps will catch up and bring the reordering option to the long press menu on the channels, however, at the moment, that just lets you remove a favorite.

For now, what little re-ordering I’m needing to do, is done via the above.

If you want Favourites to be in a particular order.

First saved will be at top, last saved will be at the bottom. Chronological Order

Favourites are available for Plex channels and OTA Channels on iOS, iPad OS, TvOS, Android mobile. As these are devices I own I can only speak for those.

Secret sauce Long Press or press Channel Logo to add or remove. Chronological Order only at present
