Public bug reported:

Right now, the network menu sorts the list of available wireless
networks alphabetically. This is bad when one's network is one among
many (like in a building) and starts with a letter that's at the end of
the alphabet, because they will have to look for it under the "more
networks" submenu.

When someone's looking for a particular network, there's a high chance
that they are looking for one of the ones that are closer, so sorting by
signal strength is more natural.
