[Country list] Sort sub-issuers chronologically rather than alphabetically

Hello,

Now all the issuers under countries are sorted in alphabet order. The result is not logical. If we take Russia as an example, we have the following order:
  • Khorezm People's Soviet Republic
  • Livonia and Estonia
  • Russia
  • Russia - Empire
  • Russian Caucasia
  • Siberia
  • Soviet Union (USSR)
  • Tannu Tuva
  • Taurida Governorate

I think more logical would be to sort them like this: 3 main issuers chronologically and all the other under them.
  • Russia - Empire
  • Soviet Union (USSR)
  • Russia
  • Siberia
  • Livonia and Estonia
  • Taurida Governorate
  • Russian Caucasia
  • Khorezm People's Soviet Republic
  • Tannu Tuva

Another possibility is to sort them by time order putting all the local coinage under subsections...
  • Russia - Empire
- Siberia
- Livonia and Estonia
- Taurida Governorate
- Russian Caucasia
  • Soviet Union (USSR)
- Khorezm People's Soviet Republic
- Tannu Tuva
  • Russia

Livonia & Estonia should be under 'Latvia' - with a link to 'Estonia' as well.

Interesting idea, but what to do when periods overlap?

Also it would be very useful to be able to sort countries as well, so as to see more clearly which are old and which are new. But then the problem of overlap would be even more apparent.

Already requested something similar to Xavier, hopefully we will get this solved soon.
