Looks like that was fixed under CR77950 as of LTM v9.4.1. Trying to find a pool by name in a non-ordered list of hundreds of entries was a real usability issue that was pointed out by a number of our customers who create VS manually, so we fixed it. Both pools and http classes will be listed in alpha order now. If you can upgrade, that's probably easiest.

If you can't upgrade yet, Joe's suggestion to use the bigpipe command is one way around that even if you're creating only 1 VS at a time.

The syntax for that is:
b virtual my_virtual {dest 192.168.12.11:80 pool my_pool persist source_addr profiles tcp http}
and you can get more help at the command line by running 

b virtual help
