Feature request: Set preferred backup store

I want to suggest a feature request:

I have multiple Storage devices configured, and they shown in alphabetical order, capitals first.
However, the main storage for backups for me is not the first in the list. So when I want to check a backup of a VM or make a manual backup, I first have to set the storage to the correct backup storage before I make the backup (and sometimes I click first and think later), the backup goes to the wrong storage).
For automated backup jobs you can define the destination in advance, it's for the manual backup/restore.

Would it be possible to set a preferred backup storage, shown as default in the dropdown for Storage, or sort them in the order I like? The last option is probably much more work.

Thanks in advance,

Albert
 
I just tested this, created " Adefaultstorage " -- it moved itself to the top of the storage list and made itself the default when doing a manual backup. This should be a viable workaround, taking advantage of sort order
