Please move the Common Divisions section to the top of Reference Range dropdown menu

I've created lots of saved ranges for various restricted searches, and yet I don't use them very often. I'm much more likely to want to search in the Old Testament or New Testament only. But I've got just enough of my own saved ranges that I have to scroll down two lines every time I want to select "New Testament" -- this is annoying. I know I could delete a couple of my saved ranges, but I'd expect the built-in ranges to be at the top of the menu, as they are in the Search In menu. Please move the Common Divisions section to the top. Thanks!

This is a case where our use differs - I rarely use the so-called "common divisions".If the common divisions were moved to the top, I'd want several of my ranges to be considered as "common divisions":

I wish that the divisions I have titled did not get mixed with my one time, unnamed ranges. And I think it a little silly that the "common divisions" don't include:

• Canons: Samaritan, Jewish, "North American Protestant" (sorry no one has provided a reasonable alternative), Anglican, Lutheran, Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Slavic Orthodox
• Jewish divisions: Torah, Nevi'im, Kethuvim, 5 scrolls, the twelve
• New Testament: Synoptic Gospels, Johannine literature, Lukan literature, Pauline literature, Catholic epistles, Pastoral epistles 
• Old Testament: Pentateuch, History, Wisdom, Prophets
• Theoretical threads: Q; JPED

These are all divisions that a number of users would have need for. It is a waste of time for us to all build them for ourselves. There are other divisions of narrower use and, as you can see, I have not completed my own ranges
