Sorting/ordering

I have a multi-value field that can have over 100 items, and a grid is the perfect way to display it. However users are struggling to manage the "drag and drop" ordering on the input screen, so I was hoping to fix the sorting on the display. Is there any way to order this array within the grid.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a way to do an a-z sort on multi-value fields (input screen), like they have on taxonomy?
