If you have a lot of plugins, you may find yourself frequently having to search for them in the browser. The new recently-used list in the 2017.07 release is a welcome addition, but it only tracks the last 5 plugins and those may not be the 5 you're looking for. An alternative is to create a plugin category called "-Favorites-" and put your most-used plugins there.
 
Start by right-clicking on one of your favorite plugins and clicking the "+" button to add it to a new category. Instead of choosing an existing category, type in "-Favorites-". That will create a new category called "-Favorites-". The leading "-" character in the name will place it at the top of the alphabetic listing, both in the browser and in the context menu.

Hi Dave - can I direct you to

Also the Resources and Utilities thread has been totally reorganised.

Great tip Dave, thanks.
 
I will be using this a lot as I still haven't got around to finishing my custom layout (mainly due to Waves Gold because I keep adding new Waves plugins!).

I am away from my Sonar computer and cannot verify that myself - if you put your favourite delay into Favourite folder will it disapear from Delays folder?

Only if you change the plug-in category and not add the plug-in to a category. A plug-in may reside in multiple categories. Hence the use of the "+" sign in the instructions in the OP.

Thanks for the tip , Dave!
Does anybody know how to remove a plugin from the favourites folder ?
regards 
 

Assuming "-Favorites-" is the first category, there is no "-" to delete from that category. However, reassigning the slot to one of the other categories for the plug-in will remove it from the first category and not duplicate in the existing category. For example, if Sonitus Delay is in "-Favorites-" and "Delay", change the "-Favorites-" assignment to "Delay"
 

Thanks a lot ,Scook,
will check it out,
