The ability to sort/filter the "related to" pages

This has been bugging me for a while, the related to pages are extremely long. It makes migrating wicks for a Trope Overdosed work very difficult. Alphabetizing everything is okay but we should able to sort it or filter it by namespace or page type even. I'm thinking two drop down menus side by side.

[drop down menu 1]
Sort
Filter by namespace
Filter by page type

If you click "Sort", then the second drop down menu will have:

Alphabetically (default)
Namespace
Page Type

If you chose namespace, the page could look a little like:

Namspace A
(Pages)

Main
(Shitload of pages)

Namespace Y
(Pages)

And it'll be similar if you clicked page type instead of namespace.

If you first click "Filter by namespace", then the second drop down menu will have a list of namespaces to choose from and if you first clicked "Filter by page type" will be the same thing... except with the page types.

Are there any other ways to help make the related to pages more manageable?

There is also stuff suggested in this thread.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

I agree on both thread ideas. Maybe the ability to sort Related pages by alphabet, namespace OR page type?
