I think Simon's right on the alphabetic sort. It's much simpler/user friendly.
I don't like the extra radio button idea, but what about submenus? something
like this:

First menu
Types
Array Types
User types

"Types" Submenu
(all internal types and pseudo-types, sorted alphabetically)

"Array Types" Submenu
(the same, but array ones, sorted alphabetically)

"User Types" Submenu
(user tables and user types)
