Allan has mentioned he still has a lot of features planned for the Go To Symbol popup. One I am very eager about is a way to start typing to filter down the synbol list (like Go To File). Not sure when these features will arrive.
Before Go To Symbol I helped put together a similar thing which displays html or shell output, in a keyboard-navigatable list. You can find it by syncing to the subversion Bundles then looking in Run Command > Defaults > Special Items [...]. There is a "Sorted" command which does what you were asking. You will probably want to map it to a key equivalent in your custom bundle.
I'm not really doing more work on this because of Go To Symbol but I find myself going back to using it because I too like things alphabetized (esp. when working on my co-workers' un-alphabetized, unruly class files -- no names need to be mentioned). I also like to see method visibility.

first let me just say how much I am appreciating the "go to symbol" popup, a real timesaver and so much nicer than my hand made version, however I am wondering whether it would be possible to somehow specify the ordering of this list? For me, using large-ish class files it lists all the functions (which is good), but it would be nice to have these in alphabetical order as opposed to the order in which they occur in the file. I can image that this isn't the way that everyone would want it, maybe some sort of preference or syntax file option would work? Do you have anything of this nature planned?
I thought exactly the same thing yesterday when I tried it for the first time: "it's neat, but there are wayyy too many symbols here for me to find the one I wanted"
I'd like to see them sorted alphabetically with type-as-you-go searching.
