The problem with ordering fsgroups in the moira client has been fixed
in the development sources. It will be in the next release, and in
the moira locker sometime before that.
Also, the sorting routine isn't too likely to run out of sort keys.
If it needs to put one between "F" and "G", it will choose "FM". If
it needs one after "Z", it will choose "ZM". It can go up to eight
characters long on the sort keys. If this ever looks like it will
become a problem, it is easy enough to write a client to evenly
distribute the keys.
