Mathieu, I disagree. As I write this, I am sitting in a shared office building with about 20 networks in sight. My company's network is (obviously) the strongest signal, because I am in my office. There is no reason I should have to sift through an alphabetical list of distant networks to find the one I'm trying to connect to. It should be in the top 5.
I know the SSID and only need to do that once, of course, but that isn't always the case. If I'm visiting a friend in an apartment building, it's a similar situation. The same goes for most public access points. Honestly, I can't think of very many situations where sorting alphabetically would be more useful than sorting by signal strength. I think it should be the default, but at the very least there should be an option. I think it's absurd that this was closed as a Won't Fix. I don't imagine it's difficult to implement, either, though that is not the point. This is a feature which should exist and doesn't. It makes network-manager seem amateur.
