Description

Problem: I have many vessels. The list of vessels in tracking station is unusable: I can't find the vessel I need.

Currently I use the following workaround:
1. Select celestial body where my vessel is (I know where is my target vessel).
2. Find orbit of that vessel (I know what orbit my target vessel have)
3. Find target vessel in that orbit (there might be more than one vessel on same orbit)

If the list o vessels will be at least sorted by name, the problem will completely go away.
It is very easy to implement, and it will unlock existing feature for gamers with more than 20 vessels (I don't know exact amount when problem become serious).

That is a complete suggestion what to do. Now I'll say about other features that can be useful (so you can ignore everything below this line).

It can be useful to filter vessels by current SoI. Both in the list and map view. Or filter landed/flying vessels: it is hard to distinguish 10 flying probes and 10 landed probes (assume we have group of satellites and group of mining probes, both of them are probes).

P.S. I don't know where to place this bug, so I choose UI category, because the main suggestion is to simply add sorting in the list.

Oh, I've mistaken. This isn't a bug, it's rather the improvement.
