Sort order for custom units?

Is there a way to force custom units in the object editor to display in a specific order? I've been using a bunch of different base units and, well, it's become kind of a mess:

It'd be really helpful to have these display in a meaningful order for future work.

I have a trick for sorting abilities that unfortunately does not work with units. Ability names are not actually ever shown in-game (only the tooltip name is), so I tend to name them things that, when sorted alphabetically, group related things together. Ie, "Monster Passives - Evasion".

Unit names are shown in-game so you're stuck with alphabetical sorting. Although, you can use the "Campaign" and "Special" flags (in the "Editor" part of unit data) to assist in sorting. They'll be moved into different folders, so you can have 4 separate groups per race.
