My new favorite rss reader and how to alphabetically sort feeds

I have tried a few rss readers on desktop as well as on an android tablet. My new favorite is Read You (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.ash.reader/). What I like most about this app is that I can specify the font that looks best on my Samsung tablet. Regardless if the source had a font that I don't care for, it shows up as my preferred Roboto Slab font that I find most readable.

One feature that I wish it had is the ability to alphabetically sort the feeds. The default of many rss readers seems to list them in the order they were subscribed to. I find this cumbersome when I want to go to a specific site to read.

I have found a workaround that others might find helpful:

  1. Under Accounts I did "Export as OPML".
  2. Load the "Feeder - RSS Feed Reader" extension on a desktop Edge browser.
  3. Under the Library tab click on "Import & Export" and import the OPML file that needs to be sorted.
  4. Once that OPML file is in the Feeder app click on "Sort by" under that same Library tab.
  5. Once it is sorted, you can export the sorted OPML file using "Import & Export" under the Library tab.
  6. Back in the Read You app, you can import the sorted OPML file. This "Import from OPML" option is found when you click on the + Subscribe symbol on the Feeds page.

Hope this helps other looking for a similar solution.
