Sort devices in local browser menu

Is there any way to sort the devices on the local browser menu device list?  There are times we would like to sort the device list by different criteria.  Many programs allow you to click a column heading to sort the table rows by the entries in that column.  For example, it would be nice to sort the device list by connection type ( Wired, 5.0 GHz, or 2.4 GHz).   Apparently, clicking a column label to sort the table is not possible in the Orbi device list.  Is there some other way to sort the device list?

    This is one of the most commonly requested features.  It is really irritating that other Netgear products have this capability but the Orbi products do not. One enterprising Orbi owner has rewritten the Attached Devices web page to allow sorting by every column (name, IP, MAC address, connection type, etc.).  This requires connecting to the Orbi using telnet and replacing one of the web pages.  He also has an Excel spreadsheet that accomplishes the same thing. (If you have access to Excel).
