Sort "Zoom to Containers" in alphabetical order

Working with larger and larger workflows becomes difficult to navigate. I have been using the Right Click on Blank Canvas>Zoom to container recently, but the order in which the containers show doesn't seem to be intuitive. (Not by tool ID, rather the order they are in the XML.)

 

This has been asked in the past but I couldn't find an idea post: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Can-I-set-the-order-in-which-container...

 

It would be useful to have the ability to change the list to be in alphabetical or tool ID order please.

I think something like alphabetical order would be good to have and then you encourage users to prefix the tool container name with a number, such as

1. input data 

2. Cleanse input data

3. join data sources

etc

 

as that gives you a logical order when trying to find what you are looking for, stuff on the left will be higher up in the list and stuff on the right will be towards the bottom of the list (#TeamHorizontal)
