As mentioned in Issues 2ndalpha#160 and 2ndalpha#140, the list of hosts is not alphabetized in newer versions of macOS. This change is a feeble attempt by me to sort the `hostsFiles` array as it's populated. It seems to have built successfully on my machine but I'm extremely new to the world of Obj-C development so it would not surprise me in the least if this does something in a bad or easily improved way. That is, I added a way to Sort (`NSSortDescriptor`) and call it immediately after every time we `addObject` to `hostsFiles` during `loadFiles` in LocalHostsController.m. Doing this after every addition seems like it might be a poor choice from a performance perspective. Moreover, it may be wholly unnecessary when used in some environments where this issue doesn't present. I went with it anyway because I didn't know how else to approach this, nor how to conditionally use this logic only when I know it to be necessary.

It would be awesome with the possibility to sort the hosts by name. Either manually or automatically, ideally both. It can easily get quite tricky to locate the desired hosts file when the list is extensive.
