Description:
When editing an EER Diagram, in the catalog in the left hand sidebar, tables are currently listed in created order. When dealing with a large schema where new tables are created over time, the catalog becomes unusable, and the user must flick back to the MySQL Model tab, find the table, and copy and paste into the diagram.

How to repeat:
From the MySQL Model tab, Physical Schemas section, Tables subsection:

1) Add table test_table_3
2) Add table test_table_2
3) Add table test_table_1

From the EER Diagrams section:

4) Add Diagram

From the diagram editor:

5) Click on the catalog tab in the left hand sidebar, expand the Tables section

Tables are listed in created order:

Tables
   test_table_3
   test_table_2
   test_table_1

Suggested fix:
Update the catalog to sort tables by alphabetical order, or include a dropdown for specifying the table sort.
