Is an alphabetical sorting what should be expected here?

It looks that way. Which is a pity because this doesn't seem terribly useful, does it?
I reread Dr. Dini's chapters on prioritization. From his book, page 434 (I hope quoting this short paragraph is Ok):
Using this order, one can use the “Grouping” Filter set to “Contexts” to set the order of
doing tasks. I prefer, for example, making my phone calls prior to most other tasks. Listing
them higher in the context list presents these tasks first.
So it seems I didn't get the concept right the first time. Apparently one must use the Group setting for this to work. Sorting without Grouping will definitely not work.
Perhaps someone could explain to me how this behavior is useful?
Why would I want to see my contexts listed alphabetically?
Is this the way it was intended to work, or is it a bug? At this point it would be nice to hear from someone from Omni Group.
