case sorting option

So, assuming this hasn't been changed in newer versions (i'm on 2011 right now):

 

You can r-click a Case structure and select Sort, and in the case of Enums-it sorts it to enum-order. That's logical, but not always preferred.

When adding elements to a Enum you typically add to the end to not mess up existing code (that works better in 2014, but it's safer to add to end). However, when working with cases it's often easier to view and work with the cases in alphabetical order.

 

So, either an extra button or a popup to select Enum/Alphabetical sort order would be quite helpful!
