Sorting by Patch Universe or by Patch does not seem to work as expected in Capture 2026. If I sort ascending by patch universe I expect it to use the Patch name (as it also appears on the plot at the tail annotation). In stead Capture sorts by universe number. This causes a miss match between different parts of the paperwork.

The order of universes is defined by their number. The name is an optional alias that appears instead of the numbers, but you cannot alter the order of universes using the name. This makes sorting consistent with the order of universes used during cross-universe patch operations.

I understand. But the universe name is what appears in all the paperwork (plot and reports). Doesn't it make sense to be able to sort by universe name (as well)?
