Label ordering trick for Gmail

Posted in Tech by Derek at 3:35 pm

By default, Gmail automatically orders your labels alphabetically. For those that want their labels organized their way, use the following trick:

Log into your Gmail account and click on ‘edit labels’ at the bottom of your labels list.

Add spaces before each label to control the list order. e.g. ( underscores represent spaces)

_ _ _ Friends
_ _ Work
_ Girlfriend
Other

Gmail will automatically remove the spaces once you click save. Your new labels list will read:

Friends
Work
Girlfriend
Other

The hint was brought to my attention thanks to Caleb over on the Gmail-Generation Google Group.
