sort contents of aliases and other tables

Re: Feature request: Ability to sort Firewall/Aliases/Edit list

I have some aliases (specifically IP addresses) that are very large and over time they get out of order as things are added - since everything that is added goes to the bottom of the list.

Lets say I had an alias that was a list of IP addresses:

192.168.128.13 fnord
192.168.128.14 alice
192.168.128.15 george

Then I created a new entry
192.168.128.12 larry

That last entry would go to the end of the list instead of being sorted first. This isn't a problem with only 3-4 hosts but I have some that are 30-40 or even 100+ lines long. I would really like to be able to sort by IP address or sort by description without having to dump the table and reload it entirely.
