I now have dozens of forms now in use, Here are some  suggestions to help deal with larger numbers of forms:
 
Manage forms:
 1) I'd like some way to sort by grid names. Wtih large numbers of forms, Alt_Up/Down is a lot of work.
 
Forms in the properties pane:
 1) I'd like some way to collapse all forms,  perhaps with an icon or checkbox at the Forms... header, as well as a keyboard shortcut.
I rarely need more than one form expanded at a time, and it's a time-consuming  to go open some forms and close some forms.
 
2) Once all the forms are collapsed, how do I quickly get to the one I need?  
It appears typing a letter goes to the first item of the form that starts with that letter.
With everything collapsed, I would like it to be able to go to the GTD form by typing a G, go to the movie_2017 form by typing an M, and typing M twice to the movie_2018 form.

Hi Keith,
 
Not exactly what you'd like, but an improvement nevertheless I hope. In v109e:
  • New: Properties pane: Option to close other forms when opening a form. Right-click on the Forms header to select. When enabled, hold Shift key to open more than one form

 That is a big and most welcome improvement!
 I've found that once I went through a manual sort, it worked pretty well to  just up/down arrow to the form I needed.. 
 
Any other tweaks should certainly come after 1.0.
 
Thanks!
