 * Awesome plugin! If we have 100’s of tables and want to export or import you can
   type to search or scroll down the list in the drop-down that shows the table 
   names in order by old to new.
 * But I often find that when updating or making final changes to data in a table
   we are dealing with the newer tables that have been most recently added. So long
   scrolling to get to newer tables at bottom.
 * How about adding a little button to the right of the drop-down list that shows
   the tables for import or export where you can sort new to old (default) or new
   to old (newest at top).
 * Just an idea…
 * What do you think?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * That’s an interesting idea! For the “Export” screen, this should be pretty straightforward.
   For the “Import” screen, it’s not that trivial, due to the auto-complete user
   interface element there.
 * I’ll add this to my list of ideas 🙂
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
