By default, the Node Library
By default, the Node Library is sorted by how frequently the nodes are used in Vuo's example compositions. You can already sort alphabetically by selecting View > Node Library > Display by Class.
Some additional sorting possibilities include:

Didn't see there was a "sort by class" option, which actually sorts the nodes by class, then by alphabetical name.

This might be more of an intermediate need but I've found myself wishing there was something similar to Pure Data in Vuo Editor UI? I've found myself becoming familiar enough with a few of the classes where I can type them out or would know them if I saw them like a code/class completion.
So it would be a short key command to make a node and then automatically be able to start typing with a node class completion function. This would make the workflow smoother once you get acquainted with the nodes and also help for memorizing them quicker.
Just an idea :)
