It's not actually that useful when using Poedit for what it is for --
*translating*. It would be nice to have, yes, but as far as I can tell,
it's not really *critical*.

It's the order of appearance in the catalog, BTW.

Pardon me saying so, but that's one awfully inefficient way of doing
things -- my head hurts just thinking about it.

You would be much better off writing a patch for Poedit for importing
Excel or CSV files into the catalog (or, if you're not a programmer
yourself, hiring somebody to do it). Such thing would probably take only
a couple of hours to implement and more likely than not would save you
*days* of boring manual copy&paste labour in the not-so-long run...
