The Sort by Name option is quite misleading since it actually sorts by the descriptor (prefix/adjective) rather than the object name itself.

This occurs for all windows and types, for example my text overrides when sorted by name come out something like:

You can’t take the molded capitals!
You can’t take the narrow walkway!
You can’t take the nasty candy!

While the walkway starts with W, it is sorted with the N’s because that is the letter the descriptor begins with.

Would it be at all possible to have an option to ignore the descriptor and sort by the actual object name?
