When designing larger user interfaces often times my event structure ends up with many cases sorted in no real order. Commonly there are multiple controls that trigger the same event case. It is cumbersome to try and find the particular event case where a control is handled.
What I would like to see is a Find -> Event in the shortcut menu for a control. We can currently search for the front panel control, local variables and property nodes if used. It seems logical that events should be included in that list as well.
Alphabetic order helps you only so far in a complex case structure - you might want to group the cases more based on the content or the functional group rather then on the name, and even worse, if a case is triggered by more then one control/events, you obviously can only sort for the first but not the others - and you can not change the order the controls are listed in unless you delete all events handled by the case and add them in the new order, not very practical. The automatic sort hardly ever helped me with event structures...
