Sort alphabetically the search engines installed in the context menu?

There should be an option to have the search engines sorted alphabetically in the context menu, as they now default to the time they were installed...

I may add an option for this in the future. In the meantime, the search engines should be ordered according to however you order them in the "Manage Search Engines" dialog - which you can access from the search bar drop-down.

This would be an very useful addition for me atleast as you can see here on
my Firefox.

Here's the sorted menu on my search engines in Firefox ->

As you can see it's not sorted and is displayed by install time and it's
very cluttered as I use searchplugins.net to make my own searchengines to
some sites I frequently find some info on.

Did you sort the search plugins using the Firefox in-built feature, or another Add-on?

I have the default search engine listing displayed in ascending mode,
sorted from a-z (or å

could the context menu search also get this feature

It would be useful for me to know how you sorted the search engines. Did you use the "Manage Search Engines" window, or did you use a sorting Add-on? If so, which one?
