If we're talking about the Info dir file. This may indeed be what I find confusing. It does seem the entries are s= orted=20 alphabetically, but in groups which have no obvious divisions. Perhaps s= ome=20 kind of heading for each group of sorted headings would be helpful. A br= ief=20 glance through the `ls info' output suggests to me the groupings are by=20 'document', ie: ada-mode autotype calc ccmode cl dir dired-x ebrowse ediff efaq eintr eli= sp=20 emacs emacs-mime eshell eudc ... Of course the ording of these documents is not alphabetical. Perhaps wha= t I=20 find confusing is the fact that there is revelent structure which is not=20 immediately apearent in the presentation. -- STH
