Can I sort Print dialog box by printer name instead of path?

We are a financial institution with multiple branches.  There is a specific document our loan funding team will print to a particular branch office for people coming in to pick up.  We have these printers named in a way where in Windows print dialog box when sorted by name, they are all conveniently together in a specific order for ease of selection.  Adobe Acrobat / Reader 11.x does not use the Windows print dialog box.  Instead in the printer drop down they are listed as \\printservername\printer  share name.  Because each office has their own file and print server with different names, its sorted incorrectly.

Is there a way to change this behavior either in preference or a registry / group policy tweak?

Thank you.

I am not aware of any method to resort the printers that are displayed in Acrobat's or Reader's print dialog. You may want to submit an enhancement request for this feature: Feature Request/Bug Report Form
