Fantastic! Looks very nice!

The sorting by kind of database objects and then by name, in navigation tree, an interesting feature in beta version that not been implemented in the release version.

Oh, two level sorting of database objects in the tree was an accidental bug, not a feature. See issue #1799.

fernando, the new "Database" tab in "Host" is definitely something for you if you like to sort databases by name, size, item count or whatever.
