Quick update on this: After posting a message requesting this feature to 
the Listar support list, someone mailed me with a patch to do just what 
you'd like.  It looked good, so I patched the necessary files, and it's 
running now.  Hope you like it. :)

Currently, it sorts by the email address as you'd ordinarily expect, 
however, there's the option of sorting by the domain name first, so you 
could keep all of the @aol.com's together, for example.  It's also not 
case-sensitive, but it could be, if you'd like.  I just put in there what 
I figured the majority of users would prefer.
