580 - sort filters in the editor dropdown
What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
I'd like it to be easier to spot the "usable" filters in the giant menu in the filter editor. I'd also like it to be easier to get to my custom ones; the ones I'm most likely to be customizing.
Please provide any additional information below.
Right now, my custom filters are all at the bottom of the list, and it's not easy to tell which are "usable" and which are "components". Some possible suggestions (brainstorming):
All non-never "displayed when" filters are on top
All never "displayed when" filters are in parenthesis
sort by name
put user-added filters before pitbull-supplied filters (possibly just by naming convention)

The built in values all have two digit internal names with longer display names. The internal names were chose to get them to sort in a somewhat logical order. User created filters have the same internal name as what you see displayed. I wish I could control the order of the items in the drop down lists in the config myself but there's no way to do this at current.
