Description

In the web interface, various editing pages have a Namespace dropdown menu. The items in the menu appear in seemingly arbitrary order. I'm guessing they're actually sorted by their internal numeric value, but that's not useful to a user trying to find the one they want.

Sorting them in (localized) alphabetical order would be more user-friendly.
