That's a great idea if it's possible.

I can see the logic with that and if it's possible to have different
sort modes then perhaps it should be included - if it were possible to
have a pull-down menu with a 'sort-by' list, that would be good.

I personally would want to sort the hosts so I can find particular ones
quickly and for that, I'd need them sorted from left to right:

aaa.foo.com
bar.com
firewall.bar.com
foo.com
sub.bar.org
www.bar.com

or perhaps grouped by domain name and then sorted from left to right:

bar.com
firewall.bar.com
www.bar.com
sub.bar.org
foo.com
aaa.foo.com

Maybe that's just me...
