Description:
When I'm looking at a schema's tables, it is counter-intuitive to me that tables are sorted alphabetically, left-to-right, instead of top-to-bottom, which is the norm when looking at a list of something.

I'll attach a graphic to illustrate.

How to repeat:
Have a schema with a good number of tables, then try and find the one you want.

Suggested fix:
Change default sort to top-to-bottom, or make it an option. When you have a long list of tables, it is easier to find what you are looking for this way.
