Why has My Yahoo changed the sort order in the Stock Portfolio module?

I have written Yahoo the following:

Kindly return to the former way you can sort your securities in the portfolios on My YAHOO to conform to the way they are set-up in YAHOO FInance. The current alphabetical order of the securities, besides being rather infantile, highly discriminates toward those securities at the beginning of the alphabet. It is also very confusing as to why your entity should use this inflexible sorting criteria as the equity ticker for Yahoo is close to the end of the alphabet. Hence if I should have the Yahoo ticker listed on a longer portfolio, one would never be able to see on first page that pops up, unless one takes a second step of actually scrolling down. Wouldn't Yahoo (and yourselves as Yahoo employees) prefer to have the chance to appear on more "first" pages rather than getting relegated down the list. Please don't have this issue backfire on yourselves, your MY YAHOO page "is" (let's not make it a "was")an excellent home page, and I wouldn't want to change it.

    I moved my portfolio tracking to Google Finance. Very slick and much easier to navigate than Yahoo Finance. Plus, I already use Google for web search, gmail, and calendar, so it makes sense to consolidate there.

    Since they changed this I am very close to switching my home page to another source. I had my securities listed in an order I created, and now despite have unchecked the "sort alphabetical" box, it remains alphabetical.
