If you have a custom field of an enumerated type with a long list of possible selections, you really need that list in alphabetical order to help users find the option they wish to select. Initially creating the options in alphabetical order manually is not that big of a deal b/c you can enter them in in aphabetical order, but maintaining it is a real hassle because for each new option you have to manually run it up the list to the correct spot. With a web interface and a long list of options, this is very tedious takes alot of time. It would be nice to be given an option on the administration screen to have the system automatically order the list of options in alphabetical order.
