The fact that the local channel is arranged alphabetically means characters like this one always appear at the top of local. For a mercenary/solo/small gang pvper this is a significant disadvantage as they will always appear at the top of local making it easier for scouts/alts to pick you out of busy systems compared to characters who appear lower down the list.
On many an occasion have I read in local "Red-box in local" or "Hostile in system" seconds after I have jumped into a system.
It would be much fairer if local was organised in terms of time spent in the system - with those noob alts that sit in stations for hours appearing at the top and new locals join at the bottom. This would essentially remove the name discrimination that the current system offers. The fact that we have the standings icon means it is no harder to find targets or otherwise this way.
This just makes more sense.
Please de-alphabetise local! Sort it by time spent in local. I don't want to be at the top of local anymore. Ta!

Why would it matter when there are only a couple people in local in 0.0?
1. Fleet battles and large gangs will have plenty of people in local.
2. It's pretty clear the OP comes from a high to low sec background, rather than 0.0.
3. Believe it or not, 0.0 is a PART of Eve, not Eve itself, no matter what your alliance mates will tell you.
1. Yes absolutely. Also, 0.0 Alliance strongholds often have 40+ pilots (hi BRUCE  ). Being top of the list makes it very difficult to operate hit and run operations. Also, as has been mentioned, some general fleet target calling is done alphabetically (hi BRUCE ).
2. Apologies if I gave that impression! I have lived in Syndicate for 2 years only going to Empire to shoot those evil war targets 
3. 0.0 is great fun and should be sampled by all to get a better EVE experience IMO. All I am asking for is this silly little issue be resolved so players are not penalised in this way.

*scrolls to bottom of local list and keeps it there/scrolls local whenever number in system changes*
Hi Adago, I see you :p
Hehe, that is fine. As long as you are in space while you do your scrolling, that'll be fine
As it is now you will see me in local without having to do anything...

How about the ability to filter out who appears in local with the same flexibility as you have with the overview?
I think that would be providing too much of a tool for people to use and local's usefulness should be limited.
