You can still sort your email addresses by the nickname just by prepending some sort criterion.
I resorted to numbers. Something like that - not exactly eye candy but it gets the job done:
Code:
11 — <my.name@domain1.tld>
12 — mail@domain1.tld
15 — <*@domain1.tld>
16 — <*@sub.domain1.tld>
21 — <my.name@domain2.tld>
22 — mail@domain2.tld
25 — <*@domain2.tld>
...
41 — <my.user@gmail.com>
42 — <other.user@gmail.com>
43 — third.user@gmail.com
...
81 — <my.alias1@fastmail.com>
82 — <my.alias2@fastmail.com>
83 — <my.alias3@fastmail.net>
...
91 — abuse@domain1.tld
91 — postmaster@domain1.tld
92 — abuse@domain2.tld
92 — postmaster@domain2.tld
99 — myaccount@fastmail.com !!!
In the past, when a line in the drop down menu (Web UI) could be quite wide I had also the name in the nickname. But some time ago a UI change made the drop down list narrower and lines with too much text will now be wrapped.
I don't like that, so I omitted the name from the nickname and since then I use angle brackets. If an email address is enclosed in angle brackets it tells me the address has a name assigned to it. Otherwise there is no name.
