Behe's answer with sorting plugins did not work on my Jenkins machine. I received the error java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException due to trying to sort an immutable collection i.e. Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins. Simple fix for the code:

List jenkinsPlugins = new ArrayList(Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins);
jenkinsPlugins.sort { it.displayName }
              .each { plugin ->
                   println ("${plugin.shortName}:${plugin.version}")
              }

Use the http:///script URL to run the code.
