We also have a large system with lots of org units and sometimes have to assign working locations when logged in as a global user.

Alphabetically by shortcode works better for us than alphabetically by name but our preference would be for a list in the hierarchical order of the org tree (Server Administration -> Organizational Units) so that branches of a system are always grouped together. (Ideally system level org units would continue to be excluded from the list as they are now.)

We use the standardized Canadian library symbols for our shortcodes to ensure unique codes. The library symbols are created based on geography (province/territory and city) so branches of the same library in different cities can have significantly different codes and so aren't listed together when sorted alphabetically by shortcode.
