Ability to sort categories in alpha order

The order of categories seems to be the order the category was added---which for my blog is very close to random order. It would be great if I could sort the categories in alpha order---or even have them sorted that way automatically as part of the software.

For the moment you have to do this manually: open the blog properties, go to 'Categories' and press 'Edit manually'.

Cool. I just did it. Edit manually has the advantage of allowing me to group some categories that would not fall together in alpha order. I do note, though, the re-importing the categories from the blog puts them back in the order they were originally added. I presume that I can manually add a new category to the list in Blogdesk without re-importing (and thus scrambling) the categories from the blog.

Yes, you can.
