GNUmed's Medications plug-in currently supports these two sort orders

        (   ) episode    (   ) brand

and what I had been suggesting to add a third option

        (   ) episode    (   ) brand    (   ) ATC

In a list of drugs, there is value to be able to group drugs by kind because 
nesting them separately under health issues does not reduce their combined 
toxicities or interactions.
