I would prefer net names etc. e.g. in the drop-down list "Net name" in properties for pad, via, etc. in PCB, pin in schematics listed in "numerical" order, í.e. e.g. A1,A2,A3, ... ,A9,A10, A11, A12, ... ,A19, A20, A21, ... instead of the current "purely alphabetic" A1,A10, A11, ... A19, A2, A20, A21, ... The "purely alphabetic" ordering IS Windows's standard fashion, and it is the fashion I have seen in other CAD programs I have tried. Let KiCad be a pioneer in this sense!
