I have a suggestion that I figure others might also want but I figured it 
would be good to mention it here to see if anybody can think of a reason 
not to change the sort order from the list volumes command.

Currently when we do a 'list volumes' in bconsole, the records come back 
ordered by MediaId.  For those of us running bacula with barcodes, the 
MediaId field is almost never used.  Could the sort order be changed so 
that it sorts by VolumeName instead?

I suspect there must have been some reason to sort by MediaId but I can't 
think of it (however that certainly isn't meant to imply that it doesn't 
exist).

It may or may not be worth it to add a configure parameter or .conf setting 
so the end user can choose... barring both of those does anybody have a 
concern about just changing the 'list volumes' query to order the volumes 
by name instead of media id?
