Order listing of Available Companies

I am wondering if it is possible to sort the listing of available companies in any other way.

The order of available companies sorts by the Name of the Company and in this case we want to move 7a.Integral_Live up the listing further so that when our users switch companies they see this higher on the list. The listing of available companies shows the Display Name not the Name which I understand cannot be changed after it is created, only the display name is able to be changed after creation.

There does not seem to be an obvious option to sort these in the Companies screen.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Nitin. I see this but this doesn't change the view of the order when you want to change companies via clicking on Environment in the top left hand corner.

They still show as the order that the Name is in.

As far as I know, it's not possible. However, if you really need to, you could copy a company and change the name that way. I'd only recommend doing this if the company doesn't have any integrations or dependencies that copying it might break.
