In the crafting menu, characters are arranged alphabetically.

Since crafting started, I still have trouble finding saders. In no other instance is my brain formatted to find a sader alphabetically; either in the sader/play/buyLevels menu, or the CotLI unofficial Wikia page.

Can they be arranged as the are during game play, by bench slot order; i.e. 1 Bushwacker, 1a RoboRabbit....4 Sasha, 4a Grokloc.

Going through list, that reminds me, is the "Bushwacker" under B like any library book that starts with the? No, I can't remember, maybe he did have a "The" and they put him there. What was that Orcs name, I know where to find him on the bench, he switches with the Mime, or is it The Mime, no, shes under M for Mindy the Mime. you get the idea.

Have to agree with Animenut, it's pretty perfect as is.

cool input . id of thought most would agree.

Maybe a sort by option?

i got 79/81, too (missing the driver whatever his name and the last elf whatever her name. I got the bench slots down pat. bench slot sorting would also help me remember who swaps within the same bench.

takes me about 10 seconds to find my sader. thank goodness for the tiny thumbnails , because i can never find them by name.

The question anyone has to ask themselves before posting a suggestion is "Does this affect anyone other than myself?" With all due possible respect, the devs have a whole lot more to concern themselves with than the mundane, minimally-annoying issue of a vast minority of players. Adding a whole new function (which, in terms of coding, takes more time and effort than just sacrificing a lunch break) just for the 5 people that complain about it really isn't worth it when the other 99% of players either haven't complained or say "Nah, it's fine."

Not trying to sound rude or anything. Just saying that if your issue is subjective ("I'd prefer if...") as opposed to objective ("It would be better if...") then it is probably going to be ignored, even if you've put a lot of rational thought into it.
