In the admin module it would be extremely helpful if the issue drop downs could follow the ordering set in the issues manager instead of defaulting to alphabetical.

We've got 10 years of monthly issues, ordered reverse chronologically, but when we're editing, the drop down will show "April 1999 -- April 2000 -- April 2001... August 1999..." etc. instead of "January 1999 -- February 1999... January 2000". It's a pain in the neck for my editors to constantly have to scroll around to find the latest issue that they're working on because it ends up waaay down the list of 80 or so issues.

Richard,

Yes, both in the drop-down for the content wizard's "add article" module, as well as the general articles manager.

In the wizard it would be great if there was way to set the issue for all slots in one go, so you don't have to go in and select for each article being added -- typically, if you're doing them in a batch, they're all going to be for the same issue anyway.
