The problem with name sorting is that there is no consistent entry format. Some entries are linked to the database while some are not. Some only have botanical names others only common some both. So trying to get the system to recognize and sort would be difficult if not impossible. You can't force members to link to the database because they don't always know exactly what they have. Some only know the genus, or only common name. Some plants aren't even in the database like daylily crosses that the member made themselves. If you are just looking for new additions to the swap then use the recent events link, everything in that list is by time of entry, with the most recent at the top.
