Default Sort list of views in Current View submenu?

I have a lot of custom views and switch between them often. My problem is
that the list of views as it appears in the Current View submenu is very
chaotic. There's absolutely no order to it at all, and it's hard to find the
view I want.

I want to be able to sort the names of views in this menu, that is, to
rearrange the list so that it's easier to find the view I want. To take one
example, here's the list of views for my mail folders (Calendar, Contacts,
etc. are just as bad):

Queries
Messages
Messages with Auto Preview
Last Seven Days
Unread messages in this folder
Sent to
Message Timeline
By Conversation topic
By Follow-up Flag
By Sender
Flagged for Next Seven Days
By category
Drafts
OPAC Attachments
OPAC Project messages
OPAC Project RML messages
Sent messages by conversation topic
temp

This is a mess. There's no logic to it at all--built-in views are mixed
with those I've created myself, and they're not even in the order in which
they were created or modified. There's no way to figure out where to find a
particular view. I want the list to display alphabetically, like this:

By category
By Conversation topic
By Follow-up Flag
By Sender
Drafts
Flagged for Next Seven Days
Last Seven Days
Message Timeline
Messages
Messages with Auto Preview
OPAC Attachments
OPAC Project messages
OPAC Project RML messages
Queries
Sent messages by conversation topic
Sent to
temp
Unread messages in this folder

Is there any way to accomplish this? In most Office Apps I could customize
the menu, but Outlook doesn't have this capability. Any suggestions? I
suggest that if it can't be done now it be added as a feature in future
releases.
