Both of these are attempts at handling very large pull lists that can
perform poorly in the native XUL interface.

Print Full Pull List makes use of an A/T template (Holds Pull List,
with hook ahr.format.pull_list).

The Alt option is powered by /opac/extras/circ/alt_holds_print.html
and a streaming network call.

For the Alt strategy, change the sort_order variable in
alt_holds_print.html.  Looks like it's already trying to sort first on
shelving location (which can be explicitly ordered under Admin->Local
Administration->Copy Location Order)

I'm not sure how to pull in the copy location order information with
the A/T template.

It would take development to have the column sort for Location in the
XUL interface understand such order information.
