When searching for command, the listing of the page could be
better. For lookup, Please organize the BTS server command listing
alphabetically:

While I'll definetly entertain suggestions for improving the order and
the documentation; alphabetical is not an improvement, because related
options are no longer listed together. [If you're searching for a
specific option, almost all webservers have searching on a single page
available.]

The alphabetical would be much better. The current page does
not follow any direct logical order, although some grouping
can be sensed. E.g. there is no single order one would
expect commands to be ordered. Person A might expect "close"
to be next to "quit .. stop", Person B might wonder why the
page starts with "reassign" command and Person C why "found"
is near the top when it is seldomly used.

It's difficult to scan forward and backward, when one cannot
know in which direction to search next time. The "search"
button in any other browser that Firefox is not that handy
at all.

An alphabetical listing would be straight forward like used
in the Unix manual pages.

If this is not possible, then the page could contain
headings to "group" commands and their tasks.

tag 376291 wontfix
thanks

Ordering them alphabetically makes even less sense than someone's
guess at a useful order by grouping similar commands together.

Suggestions and/or patches with an improvement in order requested;
changing the order to alphabetical isn't an improvement, so marking
this wontfix.

[Even most manuals try to group related actions toghether; for the
most part that page attempts to.]

You already reported this against debbugs as #376291, and I marked it
wontfix with an explanation.

All of the commands are listed in that table, and are helpfully linked
to with anchor tags.

The commands are (as I explained in #376291) grouped by their
relatedness. Your change in ordering would, for example, move notfound
to be next to notfixed and merge, instead of being next to found, it's
obvious mate. [merge would be quite a bit away from forcemerge, and an
enternity would separate it and clone.]

I don't object to changes in ordering which would improve it, but
alphabetical ordering is not an improvement.
