List major world cities (at least one in each time zone) and show the GMT

New Delhi (GMT+5:30)
New York (GMT-5)

Wikipedia (as usual) is a good source and has additional suggestions:

> If you had a choice of selecting a timezone from a list sorted by location
> name or GMT offset, which would be easier for you to use?
> Assume that you will not have be able change the sorting order as you
> please (and acknowledging that many or maybe all OSs sort by GMT offset).
