Description:
Hello,

When creating, for example, a foreign key, the table list is order by tables creations date (same order as the xml retrieval I guess). This makes it very difficult to find a specific table when the model growth.

How to repeat:
Just create a lot of tables and see how the tables are order in the menu.

this was fixed. table lists are now sorted.
fix will be in 5.0.25

An entry was added to the 5.0.25 changelog:

In the Foreign Key tab of the Table Editor, the dropdown menu that is displayed on clicking in the Referenced Table column, listed table names by creation date, rather than by sorted name.
