Given that you run a big shop with a lot of payment methods, some of the payment extensions bring a lot of unneeded/unwanted payment methods with them which appear in the payment method list. Of course you can generate a list and hide them via custom xml (at least in M1), but it's not very handy.
Edit: To get an idea what I mean: Currently we have a shop which has 68 payment methods in this list. These 68 payment methods are added by 10 payment extensions whereas one of them brings > 20 possible payment methods. Only 8 of the payment methods are currently activated in the shop frontend. This makes the list quite confusing.
The list under Configuration > Payment Methods can get quite long so I'd like to suggest to either
1 Highlight activated Payment Methods (having "Enabled" > "Yes")
2 Put the enabled payment methods on top incl. highlighting
This would require to prioritize the status "Enabled" over the defined sort order.
Another addition to this could be to sort them into activated and deactivated payment methods and hide the deactivated by default.
I think version 1 would already bring an improvement.
