This is highly arbitrary and subjective, the best way is sort-by-name
as already done in other places (and I still find the git blame
argument rather weak for the reasons I already explained).

The alternative - which I observe all the time - is that when a new
option is added an arbitrary place is assigned and more confusion is
added.
