[Issue] Filter Selection list unordered

[Paddy Landau]

I've posted this in the Writer forum, because this is where I've come across it, but it applies equally to the other parts of OO.

When opening a file whose format OO doesn't recognise (e.g. a .docx file with the .doc extension), it shows a Filter Selection (see screenshot).

Roughly half-way through the list of 154 items!

The list is all over the place; there is no order at all. That makes it exceptionally hard to find what you're looking for; searching through the list of 154 items is no fun.

Is there any way to order the list? Alphabetically would be great; it would be even nicer if it could be grouped into categories, and alphabetically within that.
