I would also love an option for "one scrollable list of ALL THE FANDOMS," possibly with the umbrella ("& Related fandoms") categories removed. I've often been frustrated trying to move between main categories.
I'd also like a way to sort fandom lists by numbers of fics, but that's got nothing directly to do with categorizing them.
Because of the huge number of fandoms on the Archive (12,990 at present) it is unfortunately simply not possible for us to have a single A-Z fandom listing. While currently the fandom listings are slated to be sorted alphabetically as on the present media pages, we will keep your suggestion for other sort orders in mind.
Maybe we could have a downloadable/static list? Updated daily, so producing it doesn't drain the servers too much? (Even updated weekly would be better than not having it.)
I would love to have a way to get a list of all the fandoms--preferably, both with and without the umbrella-fandom listings, but "without" would be first preference--even if it were a basic text list. Right now, if I want to build one, I have to open each category of fandom, copy/paste into a list, and then try to find all the duplicates and remove them.
