Appearance dialog is almost unusable due to random ordering?

Am I missing something, or does the Appearance Dialog show a random order each session? I've done a quick test is a new object and the order the "In This Design" section comes up in, seems constant during a session, but when you re-start it's then in a different order:

I'm frequently working with models with 20+ appearances, and it's so difficult hunting by tooltip to find what I'm looking for. Is there an easier way? I can't believe it's been like this for-ever and people aren't complaining more?

Add a display index to do the data-structure and sort by that. If you don't want to change the underlying data structures at least just sort by appearance name (which is already stored) so that the display is consistently sorted the same way.
