alphabetic keys for jumping do not work for radioio

It is my understanding of your ever-changing interface that once in a menu, you can use the letter keys to jump to a place in the menu. For example, in Artists, if I press A twice, it jumps to Bach. But this does not work for Radioio, which now nicely alphabetizes their channels (at my request). And there are a lot of them! Pressing the letter keys does NOT jump to the right place on the list. So I am faced with 30 key presses to get to my desired channel!
Jumping using letter keys only works in menus we know are sorted. As this particular menu is provided by a 3rd party, we don't have that little piece of information, and we can't rely on it being that way. Sorting it on our own would break their menu hierarchy: the "Account" item eg. would be placed somewhere in the midst of some music stations.
why would I want to access Account when playing radio stations? Can I add a radioio station to Favorites? And this menu is now sorted, so you have that bit of information.
