Hi,

Should definition prefixes be sorted to prevent meaningless churn like
in http://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-diffs/2018-04/msg00007.html ?
Or is the frequency (?) order that they are now in useful for anything?

         `(if (fboundp 'register-definition-prefixes)
-             (register-definition-prefixes ,file ',(delq nil strings)))))))
+             (register-definition-prefixes ,file ',(sort (delq nil strings)
+                            'string<)))))))

Yes, please.

I don't think they're currently in any meaningful order like frequency.
