Topic: Sort Chart of Accounts by name

When we are installing Charts of Accounts, as the list is long and many non standard custom ones with numerical indices will be available in the array of charts details that countries with a set of charts will be far apart making searching difficult.

Unlike languages which must start with the lang code, the charts can pretty much be anything, the name comes in handy when it denotes the country primarily though some start with number of digits in the account code.
