Sorting custom entities for security roles in CRM

We are busy with a huge crm implementation and currently have about 100 custom entities.

When we started to look at the security matrix for the system and it became a nightmare to set the privileges on the security roles as CRM does not sort the custom entities alphabetically.

I found a solution where add sorting to custom entities tab in security roles.

Locate the file called edit.aspx located at:
\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb\Biz\Roles\edit.aspx

Add the following code in bottom of the page:

<script type="text/javascript">

var tbl = document.getElementById('tab7').children(0).children(0).children(0).children(0).children(0);
var x = [];
for (var i = 0; i < tbl.rows.length; i++)
x[i] = [tbl.rows[i].cells[0].innerHTML,tbl.rows[i].outerHTML];
var str = x[0][1];
for (var i = 1; i < x.length - 1; i++)
    for (var j = i + 1; j < x.length; j++)
    if (x[i][0] > x[j][0]) {//sort by alphabet
    var tmp = x[j];
    x[j] = x[i];
    x[i] = tmp;
}
 
for (var i = 1; i < x.length; i++) {
var rows = x[i][1];

    if ((i % 2) != 0) {//background color for odd number rows
        if (rows.indexOf('<TR class=on>') > -1) {
            rows = rows.replace('<TR class=on>', '<TR>');
        }
    }
    else {//background color for even number rows
        if (rows.indexOf('<TR class=on>') < 0) {             
            if (rows.substring(3, 5) == 'TR') {
                rows = rows.replace(rows.substring(3, 5), 'TR class=on');
            }
        }
    }
    
    str += rows;
}
document.getElementById('tab7').children(0).children(0).children(0).children(0).innerHTML = '<TABLE class=ms-crm-Form-Area onmouseover=SetAltText(); ondblclick=ProcessClick(); onclick=ProcessClick(); cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2><COL><COL width=70><COL width=70><COL width=70><COL width=70><COL width=70><COL width=70><COL width=70><COL width=70>'+ str + '</table>';
 
</script>
