This is why i say 'mostly' ..
In general when listing options for a user to read, you should make it easy for them to find
the option they are looking for. Ordering them alphabetically is an obvious but not the only
way. I am not asking for you to fix the whole table, just what you are adding. If there is
a better way to organize them please propose the method.
