Sorting function of member properties

A really useful feature for steel structures would be a function to sort all the section properties alphabetically/numerically. In large structures it becomes very hard to follow what section is what once you hit around 100 different section properties

    Thank you for posting this idea. Perhaps I can suggest a more radical suggestion that actually applies to the design of all dialogs that use this design. That is to have the contents of the dialog sortable by heading. Therefore if the dialog has three headings, then the sort function be applicable to each column. This ability has been employed in the Physical Modeller and some of the tables, but if we can extend this to a core function of the dialogs, then your requirement will be met. This will need a little work as it will require each dialog to have a ref. column so that the sort order can be returned to the default order.
