I couldn't agree more with you, but I am just being realistic here. I have asked Tibco many things over the years and very little of what we asked got implemented. Sorting the values on the each of the permission sections is sure a very easy change to implement, all they need to do is to add an order by clause when querying the data from the database. But unfortunately developer productivity features don't sell licenses, so Tibco doesn't care much about them.
In the end we got tired of waiting so we built our own Spotfire report that does all that we want, a lot faster and a lot better.
PS: While the permission sections can't be resized, the Folder Permissions window can. And since the permission sections size is relative to the Folder Permissions window size you can make them bigger by making the Folder Permissions window bigger. At the office I have crap resolution screens but when I work from home I use my large 27" LCD and I can see all the permissions in each permission section. So this almost falls into the Microsoft Golden solution #3: buy a bigger PC (#1 Restart Windows, #2 Reinstall Windows).
Really, this should be implemented - Library Admins need to be able to easily understand the permissions. Jumbling them all together makes no sense and is difficult to understand. This used to work in earlier versions. Really looks bad right now.
The permissions should be sorted by permission level, then alphabetically. Not random as they are right now. There should be the ability to resize the permissions window as well. Really, this looks like some kid who knows nothing about coding implemented this feature.
You can easily do this yourself by querying the Spotfire metadata. You can build a report that queries the library and allows you to see the data in the way you want. Have a look at the queries I built below, you should combine the "Library Items", the "Library User Permissions" and the "Library Group Permissions" to get what you want.

Also add the ability to sort the permissions table by User/Group or Permissions.
