Noel,
this is one of the issues that I see over and over again here. People are tired of "workarounds" They do not want workarounds. They want something that works. And hopefully works well. We have a picker for selecting Real tracks, that has proper sorting. That what people are using to select RTs. Maybe not as "filtered" as the one introduced for utility track, but much easier to navigate and find what you are looking for. What I am afraid of that this decision of RealTrack picker discrepancy was either sporadic or as a result of opinions of few people that wanted "their way" instead of having a discussion with those people who fought for this wish in the first place.

To make my point have "some weight" I will tell you this. In the past 15 years, I worked close with small databases which are between 2x-10x the amount of RealTracks available. Items of which are unique and have an average of 10 sorting values. If we were talking roughly about 50,000 Real Tracks, your "strokes for folks" choice of picker, would have more advantages for most users. As it stands, the amount of RealTracks is fairly small and there is absolutely no need to filter the hell out of them. Things got to come together (streamline) for BIAB, not wonder away in different directions.

So we might have a different opinions. That is fine. What about new users, do you think they would prefer: 2 different pickers or one, single picker for same task of selecting real tracks? All you have to do is imagine yourself a freshly baked new owner of BIAB, and give your honest answer. Not from the heights of your knowledge. Think like a kid.
