I have some code that I believe will make network-manager-applet sort
wifi networks by signal strength, but I can't build this package to test
it. I've been trying for 3 days and I give up. If someone could confirm
this and suggest the merge, I would be very thankful.

The solution is simple enough, so I believe there won't be any problems.

Title:
  Network menu should sort networks list by signal strength

Status in Network Menu:
  New
Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
