No. Any mode really. Even in search mode they're random.

Just putting it out there. When visialy scanning a large list it seems logical to me that one would want the labels in some
order...Randomly displaying them looks messy and chaotic. Just my 2 cents.

I could see that being a must, yes.

I assume you are talking about thread index mode.  Judging from the
code label order looks purely incidental.  And I don't remember there
being any discussion on label sorting.  Dump sorts the labels though,
to ease keeping dump in vcs I guess.

Hi All. Just wondering if there has ever been any consideration to sorting labels alphabetically. I'm assuming the way sup displays the labels is purely esthetic's?
