Project names should be more clearly visible and sorted

When you start PowerVC it asks you which project you wish to work on (if you have access to more than one I guess). It displays prominently across the top of the screen.

If you want to change the project you are working on, you get a short list of the available projects. But (no matter how wide your window is set) you only get the first letter of each project (followed by two dots). Since we have only 3-character project names, they should fit in a narrow selection box, showing only the first character is a nuisance, since we have multiple projects, starting with the same character (two start with S, two start with D etc.). The fact that they are not alfabetically ordered, makes it even more difficult.
Feels like: select one and see if it is the right one.

Simple fix: make the selection box a little wider, so at least the first two or three characters are displayed, and show them in alfabetical order.

    This is improved in 2.2.1.2.  We were experiencing the problem with the width of the drop down list as well with 2.1.1.2, now with 2.2.1 it is resolved.  Alphabetical sort is not yet implemented though.
