  1. Support multi-row worksheet tabs, or vertical tabs, or font size (some way to see more sheet tabs at a time)

    Thank you for taking your time to suggest and vote for this. We do think that this suggestion has merit but we don’t think that we’ll be able to devote time to it in the near future. When our plans are updated we will re-open voting and you will be notified.

  2. Alphabetically sort sheets/worksheets in a workbook

    When working with large data sets, I often ended up with 50+ sheets of data, and each sheet was named by a given convention. To my knowledge, there isn't a way to sort them alphanumerically without a macro. Giving the user the ability to sort so that a1 is first then a2,b1,b2,etc rather than having to sort by hand or use a macro would be seriously amazing.
