As far as I can tell the order is presented exactly as it comes off the
BBC website.  The Radio 4 listen again and A to Z lists are certainly
too long to scroll through quickly.  The remote buttons are treated as
numbers and you can therefore select the number of the entry in the
playlist you want, e.g. if you go to Radio 4 listen again and then hit
'1', '2', '3' in quick succession the entry shown will be number 123 in
the playlist (set the SB to display two lines and this will show the
position in the playlist).

It's not too intuitive, but quite easy to use once you understand
what's happening. I use a sort of manual binary cut approach to jump
about the list by number until I'm in the right area and then scroll up
or down to get the right programme.  

Using the remote buttons to pass a letter and jump to this place in the
playlist would be a 'nice to have' enhancement.  However, I think the
work done to keep this really useful plugin operating as Slimserver
moves forward, deal with the garbled radio 4 streams, etc. is clearly
the best pay off of results vs effort from the AlienBBC team.  Many
thanks to all those involved for a core part of my Squeezebox
experience.
