Paper sizes returned by MSO for "XPS Document Writer"

We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

The sorting probably comes from the printer target, for example spreads FAX
A0..6 across the options. Alphabetical sorting likely fails as U.S. sizes [1]
uses Ledger, Tabloid, Legal, Letter with Quarto, Government, Demitab... etc. 

Consequently we could resolve the ticket as NOB (my take) or predefine a sort
order that would be applied to the list.

Second part of the report are the duplicates, which I can confirm for the
"Microsoft XPS Document Writer" on Windows. But no other printer and of course
not on Linux. MSO has different names for the paper types although it
apparently has the same size.
