Drone bay sorting whilst docked

I am able to sort my drones into different groups whilst in space which allows me to select which group to launch at the appropriate time but cannot do it whilst docked in station.

I would like to be able to place my drones into groups through the neocom ship fitting tool when the ship's drone bay is open through fitting instead of placing them all loose and then having to wait to undock into space to sort them into groups for launching.

For example a Dominix drone bay 400m3 can take 5 bouncers 5 hobgoblins 5 hammerheads etc when in space the first time the drone bay is opened it presents just a list which has to be sorted before launch thus taking time to sort



If it is already possible to sort without undocking how is it done?

I expect to get this post deleted or locked. So much for freedom of expression.

Actually this would be a nice addition, once the drones are sorted in space the drone bay tends to remember their grouping when you remove then add the drones back to the bay but there isn't a way to sort them when docked. +!
