@ James Anslow, no because it's not signal strength that defines the
significance of the network to the user. The user is making connection
decisions based on the identity of the network. Even in a context where
a user is trying to select between several free networks, signal
strength may or may not be an important consideration. Personally, I
value my appraisal of the trust worthiness of the network over signal
strength.

And signal strength is a non-factor in a trusted context, for example
your home. The neighbors may be blasting their WAP at max strength and
you have reduced your WAP's strength because you are in a small
apartment or something. So your network would appear at the bottom of
the list, being crowded out by the stronger signals. Yet you have never
connected to your neighbors' networks and you likely never will. So why
should these networks display perpetually in a "regular-use" area of
your menu?
