[Catalog] Put subcatalog admins and subcatalogs in alphabetical order

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas Catalog

Hi,

Currently, in Canvas Catalog in the subcatalog admin area, there is a random process for how these admins are added and they are not being added in alphabetical order by subcatalog.

 Also, in a Catalog listing the subcatalogs are not listed in alphabetical order:

Is there a way to have the subcatalog admins subcatalog and the subcatalogs be listed in alphabetical order once they are added to Canvas Catalog? We would love to see this accomplished.

@KataKeri When was this released to production? I didn't see any release notes.

Sorry, I forgot to link the release notes and I hit send without it.
Here it is, it was part of this release (back in November).

Ok, @KataKeri but this only mentions subcatalog admins. I see both subcatalog admins and subcatalogs are in alphabetical order. Were there release notes for the subcatalogs?

  The more documentation there is the better since we can refer back to it if necessary.

@jsowalsk 
it was part of the cross-listing feature, we haven't mentioned it in the release notes, because it was a really small change, just an improvement we picked up while we delivered the feature.
In the future I'll do my best to mention these small changes too.

That would be great, @KataKeri. More documentation the better so we can refer to it later on. Do you think this can be accomplished? Would there ever be a chance to have a cadence for release notes like Canvas does?
