User table: Add User function.
When there are multiple Roles the list is not sorted
Sort the Drop Down List alphabetically.

Just FYI

The drop down list currently sorts in the order that you have set your roles.  That role orders is the hierarchy which control which dashboard they land on and which table icons are viewable.

The list is technically sorted currently, just not in the way you are expecting. It is a manually sorted list based on the role hierarchy in your app. When you go to the role list (?a=AppRolesList) this is where you can manually sort them. The reason I don't expect them to offer sorting alphabetically is this list also controls which roles are considered above one another in the app. I know this is used to determine the home page shown to the user if they are in multiple roles based on whatever role is highest in the list, but I'm not sure what else it controls. 

I'd throw you a vote anyway but User Voice has not worked for me for many months. I gave up on it.
