Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Basically, list the crewmembers by alphabetical order either by their name or role.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Greatly improve browsing and generally comes as a cleaner approach to listing as a whole.
Aesthetic changes that would make the list nice to look at.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
When showing the list of crewmembers, before listing the names pass a method that would sort the names or roles as to regroup them or order them.
Do so in each categories, or before placing the names in categories.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
[N/A]
PS: Optionally, allow for player to sort them as he wish (with 2 buttons), doing a refresh on changes... At your discretion.

CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Re: Sort/Order crew manifest by name or type.
I think it would probably be better if the crew manifest was sorted by job hierarchy then alphabetical order for jobs with the same rank, for example:
Commander - Dylan Zulion
Executive Officer - Freddol von Alperon.
Bridge Officer - Ankh Milok
Bridge Officer - Charlie Petrology
Chief Engineer - Paricia Ichu
Etc, etc.

Tabbed filter menu for finding crew members:
Command, security, engineering, medical, alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, misc.

Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!

Re: Sort/Order crew manifest by name or type.
Not exactly the crew manifest, but the menu in the overwatch console that shows the people in the squad. For the love of god that list needs to be sorted by rank.
Searching the lists to see which squads have two engis so I can assign FOB/Power/Tcomms duty to the right squads in a reasonable amount of time eats ass.
Hunting for the SL in the list to be able to tell if they are dead or just knocked out is a pain I shouldn't need to have.
Looking to see if any medics are still alive so I can stop wasting my breath telling someone to save the SL because ya he was dead when I checked the list earlier.
After that being able to tell the newly revived SL that his Spec and Smartgunner are both dead is a thing I can stand to be able to do easier.
Maybe also add a counter to tell me how many living/dead muhreens I have in the squad would be nice. Shit I might have wrote enough for this idea of mine to get its own suggestion itself. To bad I lack any initiative to actually go out and make that post myself.
