order of manuals in Info...

["Drew Adams" <drew.adams@oracle.com>]

1. What is the ordering scheme used in emacs -Q for the Info manuals?

If it's supposed to reflect general usefulness or popularity, then I would
expect to see things like Dired-X, Ediff, and Tramp higher up, and things like
Newsticker lower down. That's not a great way to organize the menu anyway (and
one person's useful is another's useless).

Simplest would be alphabetical order - easy to find most entries. But keep Info,
Emacs, Emacs FAQ, Emacs Lisp Intro, and Elisp at the top.

2. Why does the description of Emacs Lisp Intro appear on a separate line from
the menu item? (It is the same length as EasyPG Assistant, so it shouldn't be a
problem of item length.)

3. How about reducing the descriptions of these entries?

. VIPER from 3 lines to 1:
  VIPER    - VI emulation mode"

. SC, Autotype, Forms, and Widget descriptions from 2 lines to 1:
  SC       - Supercite: cite parts of messages
  Autotype - Automatically insert text you type often
  Forms    - Edit databases by filling in forms
  Widget   - UI toolkit used by Customize

The multiple-line descriptions can give a false impression of separating the
menu items into groups.
