--------------------------------------

Per [this PR|https://github.com/apache/cayenne/pull/559] done auto sorting by name. This should ease the struggle and maintain stable ordering in all cases.

> Currently there seems to be no way to sort DB Import rules in the Modeler. 
> I have a model with about 50 entities syncing from a DB with hundreds of entities, and there's no pattern to match the tables that I need. So I have to specify them individually. I ended up manually editing XML files to maintain an alphabetic list of included entity names. 
> To maintain a desired ordering we may need a couple of things in the UI:
> * The ability to insert new table rules below/above the selected rule
> * The ability to drag and drop the existing rules to reorder them
