servicegroup sorting in forms

Installed Version: 2012R1.8

When managing a service in the web interface, the "Manage Servicegroups" form displays servicegroups by the name field and is sorted by that field (I would have prefered using the descripton field, but that's another matter).

When using the Generic Network Device Monitoring Wizard, the Service Groups are displayed by Description (yea!), but are sorted by Name, which is a bit if a PITA since my Descriptions are 'official' services that I have no control over, and my shorthand names which we use on the monitoring side do not necessarilly start with the same letter.

While I would prefer to use the description consistantly throughout the web interface, if using one or the other, the list should be sorted by the field that is displayed.

You can post a feature request to our bug tracker:

If there is enough interest in this functionality, we could include it in one of our future releases. Thanks!

The case where the pick list is sorted by a field that is not displayed is a bug IMHO. I'll submit it as such.
