Sure. The HTML template is in src/allmydata/web/welcome.xhtml, where the
<table> on line 59 uses n:data="services" to reference
Root.data_services() in src/allmydata/web.py (around line 252). You'll
want to sort the response of sb.get_all_descriptors() before returning
it from data_services(). Look in render_service_row() to see how to
extract data from each descriptor, you probably want something like:

 return sorted(sb.get_all_descriptors(), key=lambda d: d.get_nickname())
