Jobroller - Sorting Salary and Job Type

It appears as though the Salary list is displayed in any random order, or perhaps the order in which it is entered.

This becomes a problem unless you plan out ahead of time all of your salary ranges and know for certain you will NEVER need to change them.

However, if I have salary ranges like:
10,000 to 25,000
25,000 to 50,000
50,000 to 100,000

...and then later decide to add a new range for low-paying jobs at 5,000 to 10,000, it will be displayed out of order. Of course, later I may decide to split the 50k-100k salary into two parts (50k-75k, 75k-100k), and then I get into even more trouble.

Is it possible to display the salaries in some sort of numerical order? Or alpha order? Or by slug? Or by some other sort field?

I looked at the code in appthemes-functions.php (around line 50) and thought that changing the sort clause (to something other than RAND) would do the trick, but that didn't work.

Similarly, I'd like JOB TYPES to be sorted alphabetically as well. Or at least to be able to set a sort order. Since the data for both is stored the same way (as wp_terms) it seems a solution for one would extend to the other.

Anyone know of a solution for this problem?

Thank You.
