Organize Filters in View Templates Alphabetically

Organize Filters in View Templates Alphabetically

I would like to be able to organize added filters in view templates to be organized alphabetically automatically upon adding them to the Filters tab. As is now they have to be manually moved up and down to sort. Even if it is not automatic, it would still be of great benefit to be able to sort with a "Sort A-Z" button. The Filters dialog to edit/ create filters does this already, why can it not be extended into the V/G Overrides for Filters in View Templates/ Settings.

View Template dialog: Make it possible to search and sort on Names and/ or specific properties which are (not)selected.  

For a better and faster workflow. Thank you

You would NOT want this to be automatic as the order of the filters in a view or view template is sometimes intensely important.  It will run through the filters top to bottom, so there are times (rare, but sometimes) where the order of how you are running those is important.  And I would really not like to have that ability at all because I'd end up with users hitting that too often and potentially messing up an important ordering of the filters. 

What I would like the ability to sort by though is "Enable Filter".  Be able to put the non-enabled at the bottom of the list simply or even automatically.  Or even be able to toggle visibility of the non-enabled filters.
