Sort By ID

Describe the feature

Apologies if this is a bug, by when I sort by Mod, the items stay in alphabetical order rather than by item ID. Would be very useful if the terminals shared the item order that JEI has where related items are next to each other. For example with AE2 items, the storage cells are all mixed up and not in order of size, the processors and upgrades are all split up, functional blocks are mostly together because they have ME at the start of the name but then you have the cell workbench and spatial items away from the rest:

Reasons why it should be considered

It would be much easier to find items if they were sorted in the order they appear in JEI

Additional details

I believe JEI sorts them by the order they appear in creative tabs, not by item ID. It may be possible or desirable to have AE2 sort them either by creative tab order or by item registration order (which may give reasonable results for most mods and would be easier to accomplish)

Maybe it makes sense to add another sorting option - as in JEI. Personally, I am also very uncomfortable with any of the sorting options, simply because I am used to sorting JEI, besides RS uses the same method. Usually, modpacks assume the progress of RS first, and then AE2, and the transition from one sort to another can be slightly overwhelming, and cause a lot of negativity.

None of the current sorting methods really make things easier to find, nor do they make things actually feel organized, so JEI sorting would definitely be an amazing feature to implement.
