Message-ID: <E17r1Xa-0008UA-00@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200209160002.g8G02Eb06228@f7.net> (karl@freefriends.org)

	If each part of the menu were sorted alphabetically, would that help?
	We could make install-info do that.

    It already does.  If we're talking about the Info dir file.

It is not ordered alphabetically in my Info dir file.
Is this a recent change in install-info?
Maybe the problem is because I am using Debian.

Meanwhile, there should be some exceptions to alphabetical order.  For
instance, in the Emacs section, the Emacs item should come first.
This could be a general rule--an item whose name equals the name of
the section comes first in that section.

It might be good to add some other features for controlling the order,
if you can figure out some useful ways to do this.
