Can't sort Message Filters by name
I use message filters to send repeated unwanted spam messages to my Junk folder. I now have maybe 100 filters I have created over time. Once in a while I need to go back and edit a filter. In order to do that I have to look through the entire list to find the one I want to change or delete. Is there a way to sort the message filter list by name so I can go right to the one I want to edit?
Thanks, Larry

Trying to fight spam with static filters is futile. Use the built-in junk mail controls instead. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages

There is an add-on for sorting and searching filters:

But I agree, you are probably better off using the spam filters your mail provider applies on the mail server.
Thanks to both christ1 and sfhowes. I will use both of their suggestions. I did get the quickFilters add-on, and it did sort my filters alphabetically by name. I made a donation to QF.
I have been "training" the Junk filter for a long time by clicking on Junk when I get these lousy spam messages. However, I have not been telling the Junk filter which messages are good. I need to do that to help it along.
Thank you for your help, Larry
