[Anthill-pro] Wish list - usability

Tue Oct 28 16:09:38 CST 2008

Shoot, another. Sorry for the spam.

I've already sent this to support but wanted to put it in the public for
others to chime in if they like.

I would really like to have my drop-downs (environment list for example) in
alphabetical order. Actually I would like all my collections (non-live
search results) to be in alphabetical order.
