QoL: Sort list of bases in CO

Feedback
1

Here is a small QoL suggestion: Please sort the list of bases of a company in the CO command. I am slightly annoyed every time I see that my bases are shuffled around.

For example, the bases could be sorted by the system name, therefore, bases in the same system would appear next to each other. This would also make it easier to find bases in the list.
Another idea could be to sort by the population or number of bases on the planet, therefore ranking well-known planets at the top of the list.
An aesthetically pleasing, but impractical, sorting option could be sorting by the length of the combined system and planet names.
I prefer the first idea over the others.

To really go above-and-beyond, bases that you have in common with the other player could also be highlighted in some way, e.g. underlined. This is far less important than the sorting to me though.

Please let me know your thoughts on this. Am I the only one who is annoyed at the sight of this list?

I actually was looking at my base list and wished this was the case.

We should probably use the same sorting logic as in the BS command. I added a ticket for that.

Related to this: what is the sort order for planets in the SFC command?

It is the same as in the BS command: entries are sorted whether or not they are named, where named entries come first. Then they are sorted alphabetically. Here is an example:

Notice that they are sorted by named systems first, in alphabetical order. Then the unnamed systems follow, also in alphabetical order. That is why Orm, even though named, comes after AM-001c. If there were an unnamed planet in Neo Tokyo it would come right after the existing Neo Tokyo entry.
