Print order for multiple states

When printing multiple states for a client it would be extremely helpful for the state returns to print in alphabetical order.  This will make it much easier for us as preparers and our clients to find a particular state form when going through the printout.

Ive noticed they do print in an odd order, is there any rhyme or reason to the order they print in? 

Ive always been too busy to put much thought into it but yes, Ive noticed it too.

Resident State prints first I believe, and then the non-resident States, based on which non-resident state was opened first, I believe.

Well that make no sense when there are 20 state tax returns.  The client (and we) won't know/remember what order we prepared the tax returns in.  Is anyone aware of a setting to print them in alphabetical order.  (it does make sense that the resident state tax return prints first.... I could go either way on that, but all the others are extremely hard to find, and compare to the prior year when they are in random order).
