Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.In the sites page 'hosting/sites' the drop down is alphabeticaly order with the folowing choices.
backup
delete
disable
enable
reset password
verify
From a personal (bad) experience having backup and disable so close to delete can be 'dangerous' I would suggest ordering them like so
verify
backup
reset password
enable
disable
delete
This way, it is almost imposible to make a mistake as bad as deleting a site when you only want to do a backup. They are order in a way that the first ones are the most likely to be use. Also having delete at the end make it so that only one choice (disable) can make the mistake of doing delete.

ergonlogicActually, having delete at all in the bulk operations seems dangerous to me anyway. I think a checkbox on the settings page similar to "disable before delete" should be implemented to remove it from the VBO list by default.

ergonlogicNew features need to be implemented in Aegir 3.x, then we can consider back-porting to Aegir 2.x.

About sorting... I'm un aware of an easy way to do that with VBO. I did find an old issue in their queue. #1550092: Allow sorting and grouping of actions

ergonlogicBulk deletion of sites is now disabled if they ought to be disabled first. See: #2238897: VBO "delete" action disregards "Require site to be disabled before deletion" setting.
Since bulk deletion also requires a confirmation, I think that ought to be safe enough.
