Put the big rough voices at the top of the list

Browse source 
The catalogue was 21 polished professional voices — podcast hosts and
narrators. None of them sounds like ninety pounds of jowly bulldog, which is
the actual complaint. Seven deep, gravelly, weathered voices are added, and
they go first because a talking animal usually wants weight rather than polish.

Without a group of their own they would not have appeared at all: the dropdown
only built male, female and neutral.
