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.

Tested this adjustment with #220 & works – (Local) Hosts files are sorted alphabetically from A-Z 👍 Before ==> After |
