Sortable Transformers listing in Navigator Panel

I would like to sort the Transformers listing in the Navigator Panel by Transformer Name or Title of Transformer. One could achieve this by right-clicking on the "Transformers" header and select "Sort by Transformer Name" versus "Sort by Title of Transformer".  Currently there is no option to sort.  The default is sorted by Title of Transformer.


Most of the times, I tend to name my transformers by task then transformer name at the end.  If I need to look for the Emailer transformer, because I need to change the smtp IP address, I then need to remember the Title to find it.  If I sort by Transformer Name, I believe I could find it easier and also I may have multiple Emailers depending on the tasks at hand.  It'd be a great way to group transformers and making changes accordingly.

Yes please for this feature - would really love options to be able to sort the transformers in the navigator by their name or type (i.e. to find all the "HTTPCallers").

I have resorted to adding a simple prefix to each transformer name, e.g. "am-BONDinfo" for an Attribute Manager on the BONDinfo stream. In this manner my transformers get grouped and listed by transformer type and then their name. Being able to sort, filter, or group transformers in the Navigator by type would be very helpful.
