Is there a way to organize file names in the printer driver?

When I go to File > Print > Page Setup > Paper Size > Manage Paper Sizes, the page setups there are listed at random and there are so many of them it takes me a long time to find the particular ones I’m looking for.

I want them to be listed in alphabetical order.

Why am I the only one to have this problem?

Doesn’t anyone else have a lot of custom page setups?

This is so strange; this is at least the third time I’ve asked this question, and no one has responded.

You really want a response? OK, I checked my sequence. No particular order. I dunno why.

Why? They care about all sorts of other topics, some of which aren’t even important.

Perhaps it is because we don’t understand the question.

When I go to File then Print, I get a dialogue box which has a drop down for my printer / printers and a Box which takes me to the selected printer Properties, or an Ok which will cause Printing to commence.

Even when I go File then Page Setup I get a box with a drop down for paper sizes, which includes a "User Defined" option.

I don’t see the choices you are mentioning, and I have perhaps used the "User Defined" Paper sizes perhaps 3 times this century.

It might be something which is peculiar to your un-named Printer.

When I go to File > Page Setup > Paper Size, I have about sixty custom page setups there, plus some standard ones.

My printers are an Epson 7600 and Epson 2400, but it doesn’t matter what printers I have; when you make custom page setups, they’re thrust into the list randomly, so that if you have many of them, they’re hard to find when you’re looking for a particular one.
