List of time zones is not alphabetically sorted

When scrolling down the long list of Time zones under Settings->Organization->Language and localization the Time Zone drop down does not feel intuitive.
One proposal to solve this is to have it at least sorted in alphabetical order.
The other is to have the Time zones ordered by distance from UTC, starting with Europe and going east.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Go to Settings->Organization->Language and localization
• Look for the Asia/Aden time Zone in the list

A-M: Is the solution supposed to be alphabetical or distance from UTC? Neither is happening right now. If alphabetical, that is simple UI. If distance from UTC, that's less simple UI, but more logical. In either case, we recommend that after the text, the UTC displays, e.g. Asia/Aden (UTC+3). Also unclear where this list came from, and why it sometimes includes the country and sometimes only cities.

What should happen:
Asia/Aden should come before the European time zones.
