Currently, the namespace aliases seems to be sourced by the configuration source and not by numeric ascending order.
It would look nicer and more coherent if we could offer a numeric order there too.

It is possible, that one namespace has more than one alias, than sorting by number has not a very well numeric order.

You can sort on the client, if needed, or must this done on server side?
