AFAIK, alphabetic would be fine, except for a few special cases (e.g. "Emacs" section goes first; "Emacs" is first in Emacs section, etc.) So as long as we can describe the special cases, there's no problem. For special cases, some sort of arbitrary priority based system would probably be good enough, e.g., sort by priority, default priority is 100, everything with equal priority is alphabetic. -Miles -- (\(\ (^.^) (")") *This is the cute bunny virus, please copy this into your sig so it can spread.
