Type: Bug
Opening “Settings” in GUI mode (as opposed to JSON mode) lets you select themes, the current theme, the preferred dark color theme and the preferred light color theme. The items in these pop-up menus can get quite long (50+ items) depending on what themes or theme packs were installed.
The items in these menus are not sorted alphabetically or by any useful sorting strategy. The only apparent order is that themes from the same extension are grouped. If themes are ordered by the name of the pack they belong to, this is not apparent and arguably not as useful as simply sorting all themes by their individual name.
With this, themes have to be picked entirely by going through the menu items by eye every time. In contrast, the command palette item “Preferences: Color Theme” and its pop-up menu is sorted alphabetically.
