Lists should be sorted alphabetically, not based on the url

Now, lists are sorted based on the url of them. It would be much nicer if
they were being sorted based on the description. If description is not
present then sort them based on the url.

Of course it's low priority, but i thought I'd mention it.

I agree with you, that would make a lot of sense.  Ideally, I think the table 
should
let you click on a header field to sort by that column, like pretty much every 
other
piece of software in the world does.

Just to make sure I'm looking at the same window you are, you're talking about 
the
"List Manager" window, right?

Yes, I'm talking about the List Manager. And generally, the user should be able 
to
sort by any column but the default should be by the description. I don't think 
this
is so difficult to implement, as the whole window redesign is.

Is this really difficult to implement? I mean I have 12 lists and it looks bad 
the
way the lists are sorted now. In the List manager and in the Update window.

It actually isn't as trivial as you might think, as the lists are currently 
entirely
unsorted.  The order in which they're displayed is 1. static lists, 2. dynamic 
lists,
in the order they were added to (or enabled in) the List Manager.

Still, it shouldn't be too difficult to implement.  Targetting for 1.0 since 
we'll
likely be posting one more Release Candidate prior to generating Public Release 
1.0.

While we're not sorting lists as you add them, we are at least sorting them by 
URL as
we enter/leave the List Manager window.  So other than when you're initially 
adding
custom lists, all dynamic (i.e. URL-based) lists should be sorted by URL now.
