It does work - but (A doesn't put it at the top - however type down works if
you remove the TZ offset from the display name. change (GMT - +xx:xx)
Place_Name to Place_Name and you can type P to jump to it. So for India,
remove the TZ part so it just says India then press I to jump to it. You
could also rename them 1- EST, 2-CST, 3-India etc and type down by number.
