I left the beta. Removed the app and was able to download the normal app in a few minutes.

Completely disagreeā¦ The Favorites Page allows you to create your own list of things you want to see. The 2.x version forced you to have the ENTIRE list and just sort your favorites towards the top. So much junk in the 2.x default view (I have a LOT of things). They have already stated (due to all of us giving feedback) that they are going to shrink the size of the Favorites button for Beta 2.
Device list - They have stated that they will fix the sorting of this list in Beta 2. I didnāt have a big issue with the sorting because I named all my devices with emoji-prefixes to automatically have them sort together. If you wanted things sorted a different way (like room), you can add your own prefix. Something LR-Camera, LR-CouchLight. Prefixes on device names solves any sorting you are looking for. The devices tab is MUCH more robust. You can see statuses like battery life, temperature/humidity, ON/OFF status, Brightness, Close/Open.
Automations tab - I like that it has been added to the main page. I wish we could sort this (THIS IS MY #1 REQUEST).
The organization of it all is MUCH MUCH better. I have ALL things Wyze so being able to deal with my mountain of things was pretty important. They made that much better in the 3.x version.
BTW, they made this look almost exactly like Google Home.
I had to follow these steps and waited 20 min. Iām finally back.
Iāll give you that, however the favourites page is slow as molasses in winter. I only have six cameras and I can just imagine with some of you who have way more than that.
I hope that they donāt get sued for copyright infringement. 
Waited about 6 hours, likely longer than necessary but am back on the production release 2.50.7.487.
This is terrible.
Iāve about 30 active cams at 3 main sites, mostly outside, some inside.
Now it looks like I HAVE to rename them all because somebody at Wyze didnāt like āgroupsā.
Cripes, I guess we are lucky they didnāt make us go by MAC address.
I tried to create a group, nothing happened.
@gemniii Your groups are listed at the bottom of your Device List. They didnāt go anywhere.
Fun Fact, if you rename your devices and device groups with an emoji pre-fix, it helps to sort them together.

@WyzeMengtingHu - If you can somehow get sorting to be applied to the Automations pageā¦ My wife said she would make chocolate chip cookies for the entire office.

Bulb
Light
Idea
Etc.

Good question. Iām not sure if they are sorted as they are listedā¦i.e. faces firstā¦ Flags last?
I havenāt paid that close of attention. I was looking to make them recognizable at a fast scroll.
You could also do Bulb - LR - Couch, Bulb - BR - Table. That makes it sort by device type, then room.
Or invert it to whatever is your taste.
I do this with computer files, much easier to find things.
Chocolate chip cookieā¦ 
let me talk to the Automation page PM!

The app is not a full version upgrade, it shouldnāt be called 3.0. At best it should be 2.51. A full number upgrade is given when the app is overhauled. What Wyze did, it took their over bloated 2.5 version and added some new stuff and bloated it even more.

Hi Earl! May I know your use case for the sorting function? Like, how do you want the list to be sorted? Is that by device type? What about the filtering function (by device name)? Thanks!!!

@WyzeNathan - Iām talking about Automation Sorting to be clear. I would be happy if it simply sorted alphabetically. Right now, itās sorted by creation date of the Automation. Thatās not really beneficial.
I can handle the renaming of things so things sort together alphabetically. Others may have other ideas such as custom sorting (using the sandwich button to arrange them however you like) but Iām just looking for alphabetical.
Basically just like the Device list. In the future, adding Rooms as a grouping would probably be wanted by others and would mimic Alexa and Google Homeās organization that most of us are used to.

How about choices?
If I choose by type (both up or down), then within type it should be alphabetical (both up and down).
