EPG Channel sort order

[spagio]

Is there a way to sort the channels in the Channel Editor EPG mapping from an XMLTV source alphabetically (or another way)?  Right now they are coming into the dropdown in the order that they are downloaded in the xml file.  I would like to avoid a linux jq hack if possible.  Thanks.

I would like to see this (as an option) for Schedules Direct too. For large lists I have to download the list and figure out what channel it is to get the channel number.

I have a similar wish list for the channel order for the guide in the browser and UI clients.
