Build ID: I20080617-2000 

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Open Type
2. try something like BigDecimal
3. the resulting list order is my least likely choice


More information:
I don't expect to see com.ibm.icu.math classes ahead of java.math classes, surely the order would be local types, then jdk, then third party etc. 

An optional request would be to make the ordering customisable, just in case I prefer to see specific third party jars selected before jdk ones. Or at least have the IDE recognise my most commonly chosen selections and optimise by most frequent choices.

That's different than not being logical ;-)

fair 'nuff, maybe not the most logical bug title choices :-)

If we do this, it should go into the Type Filters preference page. We could allow to move items up/down in the table, and use the position to sort the unchecked items.
