It would be nice if the hosts within the group can be displayed in alphanumerically sorted.
bbgen has a option to sort the test names using `--sort-group-only-items'. Would be nice if there is a switch for hosts as well. So no matter how you entered the hosts in bb-hosts file, the display will always show them in sorted.

Not that this will work for everyone, but almost all of my hosts are in bb-hosts.automatic which is included by bb-hosts. The file is programmatically generated (from a list of systems in LDAP) and as a result, they're always sorted alphabetically.

In 4.3.0, there's "group-sorted" for this very purpose.

What process is this an option for? I tried to put it on bbgen and it errored.

Man bbgen, look for --sort-group-only-items
Not sure if this is what you need but it does sort tests alphabetically.

Found it. It is a bb-hosts tag - not a bbgen command option
