I'm confused because the list of providers - even the 'all individuals' sub-menu - already appears to be sorted alphabetically (by last name).
Please see the attached screenshot from the Jose Gonzolez sample PHR.
I can see how we could make this somewhat better perhaps - by adding more categories - but there are alot of categories that might make sense. At some point - popups stop working as an effective UI, and we may need to go to more of a search interface.
