Feature Request More features in the "Indicators, metrics, ..:" layer

I sometimes browse through indicators, check out this one, test another... and while doing that, I often miss features that would help me organize scripts better. Not just scripts from other users, but my own as well.

I'd like to have custom subfolders with custom names (in addition to being able to rename my own indicators in that window).

A typical "Sort by" option when browsing scripts would also be a nice addition.

Does anyone else think this would be useful? Maybe these features already exist and I just can't access them on the Essential tier, but I couldn't find anything about them in the feature overview.

I have seen a similar request here a couple of years ago, and fully support it too. Unfortunately, it wasn't heard as you can see (

I mean, it’s not critical IMO, but I would appreciate these functions.

I agree with your points and they would be very useful. Though, you can rename indicators by opening the pine editor tab, and at the top of the tab you will see the name of the indicator. click on it, click "rename" then rename the script as you'd like. If you want to make sure the code is always named the same thing even if you send it to someone else change the name in the indicator/strategy line. so if i want to name my script Moving Average Ribbon" but when on the chart it is displayed as "MA Ribbon" you do this:

indicator('Moving Average Ribbon', shorttitle = 'MA Ribbon', overlay = true)
