In the [experiment profiles tab](http://lead1.local/experiment-profiles), we have a long list of experiment profiles in the drop down menu (supposedly sorted by date created). It would be nice if these could be sorted alphabetically to more easily identify the one you need.

Similarly, in the [calibration tab](http://lead1.local/calibrations), we have a long list of pioreactors, which are seemingly randomly listed in the drop down menu. Here it would also be helpful to have an alphabetical sorting.

Calibrations ✅

Experiment profiles is sorted by last edit time. I don’t know if I can easily change this. Perhaps there is some inbetween solution here.
