Add sort function to Passwords in Preference

The main ACS window, Edit.. Preferences... Passwords tab allows for mass change of passwords.
I would like to have the ability to click on the column heading for Profile to sort the systems by profile name so I can select the first line, scroll to the end of the systems with that profile and Shift Click the last system in the list for that profile and then click Change Password.
This would save a ton of time and make the change password process quite a bit quicker.


Use Case:

With over 150+ lpars, changing passwords is quite an effort.
The main ACS window, Edit.. Preferences... Passwords tab allows for mass change of passwords.
But I have to pick and choose each system to change based on which system has what profile. (I have 2 sets of profiles.)
Sorting by profile in this windows would make the process much quicker so we don't have to Ctrl-Click a hundred times, one at a time.

    Well, I am not sure i am tracking what you are saying exactly.
    The default user is the one I am seeing in the configuration list in the connection tab per system.
    That user is showing in the Preferences, passwords tab window.
    If you are saying there is somewhere else that is storing the saved profile per system, ok. But I don't see that anywhere.
    And the ability to sort or select by that column doesn't exist that I can see.
    I guess I don't follow.

    Instead of providing the ability to sort by user profile, would it be more useful if we provided a way to just use the saved user profile from the configuration? Then you should be able to select them all at once.
