Send/Output location list getting too big!

On large projects with many fx and buses, the list that pops up when selecting a send location or location for track output is getting a bit messy! There must be a better way of grouping this info together. I know about 'Send Assistant' but I still think this area can be improved.
 
Can we do something with this bakers?
Example here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2518i5tbp010sx1/list.png
The list scrolls on and on way past the bottom of the screen...
p.s. couldn't upload the image to my post - the image upload appears to be broken both in IE and Chrome

    That's a good point perhaps if they were colour coded like the busses and tracks it would make life easier. I know that ever since I started colour coding things. White for Aux channels, Red and Orange from drums. Green for Synths. Blue for Vocals and Purple/Pink for instrument parts etc.
     
    Or even just group them and separate them with a divider line by the type of routing assignment. I'm sure that's harder to implement than it sounds. Or even a secondary context menu which can be selected by hitting on a greater than symbol like >.

    Hi, it looks like a bog-standard Windows list view control. I'm sure it would be pretty easy to change it to a tree view or an Outlook style grouped list
