Order exceptions (cookies and site data) by domain

[AnFire]

Hi,

Currently, by default, the list of exceptions for cookies and site data is ordered by status. Another option available (which I find more relevant) is to order it by "Website", which actually means by URL.

Unfortunately, this does not take into account the fact that several subdomains of the same domain might have an exception. As a result, when ordering by "Website", entries that are for subdomains of the same domain (and that would really benefit from being close together) end up up and down the list. This also applies to http/https, since alphabetically all http URLs come before https ones (although I only have https exception at this point).

It would be great if the "Website" ordering was actually done by domain, then by subdomain, then by protocol. Ideally, the same colouring that exists in the URL bar (with the domain in white and the rest in grey) would be used, so that it would be easier to focus the eye on the domains and not on the entire URL.

For instance, the attached picture show the current behaviour. I would rather have the following order:

• http://test.com
• https://0.test.com
• https://1.test.com
• http://test2.com
• https://0.test2.com

Thanks!
