Report Builder - Data Source sequencing

User Story

As A System Admin

I want to build reports quickly and efficiently, especially when choosing a data source

So that I spend time efficiently manageing my system.

Background:

When selecting a data source in report builder, they are listed alphabetically in the Controls . When there are lots of data sources, I will in the majority of cases, want to use the Parent Context. When setting a value on the control, Parent Context always appears at the bottom of the list.

Please set Parent Context to permanently be at the top of the data source list.
