[UX] Provide an option to sort the keys/values of the options select form elements

This is basically to consider improving the option select elements that we've added in Backdrop core v1.12.0 (see #1005) to include the functionality of https://www.drupal.org/project/select_option_sort, which allows sorting the options in the select element by key (if the "Custom keys" checkbox is ticked) or value, and also ascending/descending.

Does the Administrator role of your site have the permission "Access administration bar"? (I think, you wouldn't notice the missing permission if your own account is the so called User 1.)
