Allow sorting of Database Security Identities

There should be some type of sorting feature for the Security Identities/Securities listed in the Database Security section of System Management Tools. A simple fix would be to allow us to remove an identity, re-add it and have that appear on the ...

PI AF Security - More Granularity Needed
