Strings Sorting Ability

[nitrogar]

What is the feature you'd like to have?
it will be great to sort strings by length or reference count
Is your feature request related to a problem?
it takes a lot of time to find useful strings whiting the ascii garbage by scrolling alone. therefore adding filtering ability will be helpful
Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
write custom scripts and apply some filtering magic
Additional Information:
I think due to the UI design it is hard to implement table based string view, so maybe some sort of Wireshark's like filtering bar where regex is used for filtering .

I've made some progress on this, and have a branch with sorting by length, though currently it does not remain sorted when a filter is applied.

I had not considered sorting by reference count, but I will investigate that.

Filtering has already been in place for a long time.

My fix for #6943 adds sorting by string length (number of characters), and ensures the selected sort is maintained when the filter value changes.

I also added a sortable reference count column.
