We have 70+ Email Lists and in the previous design, we carefully assigned priorities to make them show up on the page in the order that was most useful for us.
The new "Email List" design took that capability away and now it lists my email lists by the email list name, the number of contacts, and date when the list was created --- totally useless sorting categories when you have more than a few email lists.
Imagine that I had a chest drawer and I had nicely arranged my accessories and clothes in it, in the way that is most useful to me (customer). Your engineers stuck their hands in my drawer, stirred my contents and left them in total jumble. That is what you have done here!
Here, your engineers thought that all lists must be sorted out by its name, the size, and date. They totally failed to understand real customers use your products. The failed to understand that the function of "Email Lists" is very different from that of "Contact Lists".
With Contacts, you want to sort by the date the customer joined the subscription, customer name, their interest, etc. With Email Lists, sorting by the list name is totally useless because users assign the list name that best represents the interest of the particular list or group; they don't assign Email List, thinking "I have to start the list name with 0 or A in order for this list to show up on the top." Also, the Email List may have a small number of Contacts (subscribers), but it might be an important Email List for the user. Sorting by "Date Created" is useless, it is like sorting your mobile phone by the date that you purchased.
The left column of the page https://ui.constantcontact.com/rnavmap/distui/contacts, I see another "Email Lists" that can be moved up and down. But now I have to reorganize my 70+ lists -- what a waste of my time! In the previous Email Lists design, your users have already assigned the priorities of list categories. Why didn't you apply the user priority? Why did you ignore your customers' expressed priority setting and replaced with what engineers think customers want (which is usually wrong).
I am so unhappy with this new design. This one is a serious game changer. We are courted seriously by the competitors of Constant Contact, we get flyers and emails every week. If you cannot bring back my old Email Lists design soon, we will switch -- because now it is taking me more than 60 minutes to set up a simple email campaign that I was able to do in 10 minutes previously.
