I like the Airfields tab but…

Some airfields have a lot of plates.  Cologne, for example, has 44. The ordering in the index doesn't seen consistent: there are groups that seem to be sorted by title but there are many groups, so for example 3-1-3 appears below 5-7-3 which is below 3-1-1 (with many intervening, such as the DFS Approach chart).

As a minimum, could you sort by title please?  Ideally, could you allow preselection of plates that are expected to be used, e.g. by putting them at the top of the list?

Not the same, but a related problem:
Having planned a route, I then go looking for alternates, which means considerations for runways, fuel, opening hours, maybe customs etc. This normally means viewing the AIP plate, so right click what appears to be a suitable airport, "Find Plates", pick off the textual information, review it, and then all too frequently, right click another airport and repeat.
Problem is I end up with a massive list of airports and plates, and the only way I've found to get rid of all the excess is to close SD & restart

For the problem the OP has, how about grouping by VFR and IFR, (as in a collapsed list with a "+" or similar to expand) and then by type (eg SID/STAR/IAC/other), as in flight I'm most likely arriving (don't care about SIDs) or departing (don't care about STARs or IACs) if VFR I don't care about IFR etc. Maybe the appropriate VFR or IFR group could be expanded by default depending on which mode the map is in?
