I upgraded to 20.0 on firstick.
I keep various favs in Favourites folder (obviously I suppose) . I keep them organized by my own personal preferences. I do this by clicking Favorites , going into fav folder then using the u or d key to move them around. I see that 20.0 has changed the way the favorites display. I like it but now I can't use u or d to organize them to my likening.
I do have the favorites option set to sort by User preference.
Please advise?

Yes, v20 has changed Favourites from a dialogue into a Window like Movies and TV Shows.
I also noticed that the ability to move favourites up and down is no longer available. I guess this is because you can't do the same rearrangement in Movies, Music or TV Shows either.
If you can access your Favourites.xml file, you can edit the order there...

Thank you for your answer. This is very disapointing for me as I really relied upon this. I will try to look at the favs file, but I do find this process cumbersome.
thank you.
It's now a proper window and not a dialog so it behaves like other media windows in Kodi. You can still move things up and down the list but you'll have to use the context menu.
You are those option to move things are in my menu, u & d disabled. The menu is fine, but if say I want to move it 20 icons or more up it's easier to just go u u u u u or d d d d than selecting the menu for every move 20 times. I do not understand the complexitues of programming or the goals of kodi but, My wonder is, why didn't they add the feature to the other media windows, rather than removing from this one. Again I'm just a user so I dont know or probably understand the issues involved.
Frankly I dont really like the movie window being organized for me , never have.
just my opinion.

It has not been removed by invention. I simply was not aware that the old dialog supported u and d keys to move items.
The move up and move down context menu entries will only be available if Favourites window sort method is set to "user preference", btw.

In media windows up and down allow you to access the side menu or scrollbar.
