Sort distribution list

I'm looking for a way to sort a large distribution list. I know there are arrows but when you have about 800 databases in a distribution list bring something from the bottom to the top takes a while. There used to be a "community" tool that sorted distribution lists but I can't find it again. Am I missing something or is there no way to sort w/out using the arrow to keep clicking the up/down arrows and manually sort?

Thanks.

I guess I should add that if the distribution list consists of all that servers databases you could just remove them all and re-add them since they are alphabetically listed on the left side. But, we do have some distribution lists that are a subset of those databases and that is when it gets a lot more time consuming to sort.

There's the Multi Script List Manager available on the page below:

ftp://support.red-gate.com/utilities/freetools/Old_Labs/Red Gate Labs - Stuff/MultiScriptLM.htm

Is that what you're referring to?

As you say it's a community tool and it is quite old but it should hopefully still be helpful

Thanks Matt, that is indeed the tool but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with Multi Script version 1.3
