When plugin feature is selected, the initial loading of the plugin list is unordered.
However, after performing a random search in the plugin’s search box,
and then reopening the plugin list, the plugins are displayed in alphabetical order from A to Z.
I am a new user so I can’t provide any links in this topic, I will provide links in the reply.
Furthermore, I have a few suggestions:
It would be beneficial to improve the plugin dropdown list by adding a search box, not just within the store. This would allow GPT players to enter keywords and directly select the desired plugin. The current process of scrolling through the mouse to find a plugin is time-consuming.
It would be ideal for the official platform to provide a comprehensive list of all plugins, including descriptions and corresponding tags for each plugin. This approach would enhance the frequency of plugin usage for users. With over 200 plugins in the store, most users might be deterred by the sheer number. Although I have compiled a list, it becomes troublesome for me to update it regularly since the plugin store introduces new plugins daily. I suggest that the official platform issue update announcements, specifying which plugins have been updated, and provide an updated plugin list with descriptions and tags for the new plugins, making it easier for users to find them.
You’ve raised some excellent points about the plugin list functionality. The inconsistency in sorting before and after searching can be confusing for users, and improving the plugin selection experience would be a huge plus.
Adding a search box directly in the plugin dropdown would make navigation much smoother, especially for users who already know what they’re looking for. Scrolling through a long list can be frustrating, particularly with the growing number of plugins available.
I completely agree that an official, regularly updated list with descriptions and tags would be extremely beneficial. With over 200+ plugins, users might not even be aware of all the available options. An update log or announcement system detailing new or modified plugins would also enhance usability.
This would ultimately encourage more engagement with plugins and help users quickly find the tools they need without relying on third-party lists. Hopefully, the developers take these suggestions into account!
What do others think? Would an improved search function and an official plugin directory be useful to you?
