[Typo3] Sort access selector box by title?

[Joseph Mesterhazy]

I found the solution to this, and am replying for the benefits of the  
mail archive. The solution was to add this to the $TCA:

$TCA['pages']['columns']['fe_group']['config']['foreign_table_where']  
= 'ORDER BY title';

It was also helpful to increase the number of rows in the group  
selector box:

$TCA['pages']['columns']['fe_group']['config']['size']=10;
