I don't like alphabetical at all. I won't know who is newest scammer or dead program and to pull links, etc without checking the whole frickin list every other day. I don't have that kind of time to re-check that long list against my accounts. If nothing else, put the newest up top or at the bottom of the first post in a separate area for like a week, then move them into the alphabetical listing.

Only other thing I can think of, would be to have a "new" image available to post next to the name like you see on the link lists/directories. And again, remove that after a week or so.
