      Description

      It is often a herculean task deciding the best structure to retrieve for sequences with multiple entries in PDB. For instance, Hemoglobin subunit alpha with UniProt accession ID of P69905 has 227 entries in PDB. In this particular case, selecting a structure to retrieve can be a nuisance in Jalview as only a small section of the available options is visible from the selection menu as seen in the attached image - http://issues.jalview.org/secure/attachment/11241/P69905_view_structure.png.

      It would be nice to provide a smarter way of allowing users automatically retrieve the best structure based on certain preference i.e: Resolution, Quality, Coverage etc.
