In LON-CAPA 2.9 and earlier, items in the pulldown menu are listed in  
alphabetical order of the URL of the sequence (which is not especially  
useful).

I could provide a patch for LON_CAPA 2.9.1 which would incorporate  
case insensitive alphabetic sorting by folder title (which I think is  
what you are requesting).

However, the approach taken in LON-CAPA 2.10.0 is to display the  
folders in a hierarchical format which corresponds to the arrangement  
of folders in your course.

Release of 2.10.0 (final) for production is imminent.  A number of  
domains have been running the production-ready 2.10.0.RC2 (testing  
version) successfully for the last couple of months.
