Sorting list names
Hi, new user, forgive me if old issue, but I've searched FAQ and wiki and can't find answer.
Running Mailman 2.1.12, on the Virtualmin Mailman Mailing Lists UI, I'm simply trying to sort the list names alphabetically. Is this possible? I can't for the life of me find it if it is a UI option. Does it need to be sorted at the file system level or database level for the UI to reflect it, maybe? Thanks for any help!
On the general options page, there is a setting near the end called "Maximum number of members to show on one page of the Membership List". If you set it to more than the number of list members, you will get an list alphabetized by emails. (But you want "list names", and I'm not sure what that is.) And I do not recommend my first option if you have a few thousand list members. I set mine to 500, and then I get one page for each letter of the alphabet.
An alternative is to run /usr/lib/mailman/bin (on my machine, YMMV) and run
./list_members [name of mailing list] > [some file]
You can restrict that to active members. (Look at the options for ./list_members by just typing that name.)
That list is also alphabetical by email address. I do not require actual names of subscribers (and I don't know if that is possible).

Specifically what UI are you looking at. If you are talking about the listinfo page, they should be sorted. E.g. https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/
