Description Chris Wheeler CLA 2011-01-24 12:46:45 EST 
Is it possible to add the ability to sort the main list of remote systems by connection name. Currently there are options in the context menu for each connection to 'Move Up' and 'Move Down' however I have approximately 80 connections in the list and sorting them manually would be very time consuming.

If you're a plugin writer, you can extend the RSE easily by registering a ViewSorter with the RSE SystemView. We do that in our own product on top of RSE.

Unfortunately I wouldn't know where to start on writing a plugin, I'm a PHP developer but I'd be willing to try and learn if you can point me in the right direction.
