Feature Suggestion: Give the ability to put 'alpha' in VM ID field

[bearhntr]

This would be an awesome help in being able to sort these items. Perhaps the ability to put a letter in this field. As examples:

L100 - Linux VM
L101 - Linux VM
W100 - Windows VM
W101 - Windows VM
N100 - Network (like a firewall or ad-blocker)
A100 - Application (like a NAS or something which might be shared between others)

These are just examples of the way my brain things of naming things. If the Sort Engine sorts properly, they would always be listed together.

You can tell PVE to sort your guests by name instead of VMID. Then you could define the order yourself by naming the VMs/LXCs accordingly:

Thank You - I had not seen that feature. I still think that Alpha-Num VM ID is a nice option.

... and you can use pools to group them:

I cannot seem to get it to do Pools - perhaps I am looking in the wrong place.

I figured it out. I had to create a new pool and then add members too it.
