 Description   

Hi Zabbix devs,

 

The current Zabbix installation sorting is a bit unclear for users to find their timezone we've heard on several ocassions.

As seen in the screenshot, the list is sorted by UTC timezone and the on Alphabet:

 

Looking at the industry standard we've seen the most so far, the sorting type is based on Continent/Country/City like in tzselect on Centos:

 

Perhaps it would be easier to sort in a long list, omitting the entire UTC sorting part just sorting based on Contintent then Country then City in 1 long list.

 

Kind regards,

 

Nathan
