The biggest problem is that you cannot sort entries after you have created them.
A search on the internet and found these cool tricks for Indesign.
On the Fly menu sorting in InDesign (SUPER SECRET TRICK)

This trick is cool, but is only a temporary fix. What I was looking for was something more permanent. More searching came up with this gem: (credit to Dave Suanders)
Do the following to use this script,
- Copy and paste the text below into a new text file
- Name the file "Sort Presets.js" and save it to the following location
Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Scripts/Scripts Panel - Select the script from the scripts panel in InDesign to run it.
//DESCRIPTION: Sort Printer Presets
myPresets = app.printerPresets;
myNames = myPresets.everyItem().name;
myNames.shift(); // lose [Default]
myNames.sort(lc); // sort remaining names
for (j = 0; myNames.length > j; j++) {
myPresets.item(myNames[j]).duplicate();
}
for (j = myNames.length; j > 0; j--) {
myPresets[1].remove();
}
for (j = 0; myNames.length > j; j++) {
myPresets[j+1].name = myNames[j];
}
function lc(a,b){
a = a.toLowerCase();
b = b.toLowerCase();
if (a > b) { return 1 }
if (b > a) { return -1 }
return 0
}
