      I would like to suggest a potential improvement to the the groups selector drop-down menu in activities/courses etc, whereby when using visible groups, or access all groups, that the groups that you are a member of would be shown at the top of the list.

      The rationale behind this is that it hopefully saves time for those users in separate group activities on courses with lots of groups as their own groups would be hopefully easier to spot and select.

      Each set of groups should be in alphabetical order; so own groups in alphabetical order followed by all other course groups in alphabetical order.
