Sorting Collections AphabeticallyAlphabetically in the Outliner

I have numerous objects categories that I used to organize in Groups through a script in Blender 2.79.

I'm now trying to switch to blender 2.8 and use collections, but in the outlieroutliner the only listing order that I can get is by their creation. There is an option "sort alphabetically" but it only works for objects. In Blender 2.79 Groups were listed in aplhabeticalalphabetical order, I don't understand why this has been changed.

Anyway, does anyone have an idea on how to circumvent this problem? Would it be possible with a script? There is no way I can switch to belnderBlender 2.8 if I don't fix this issue! Thank you very much.
