That'd make a fine followup patch, I agree! ;) Re-ordering every
manpage won't really be on my todo list soon, though.

I suppose. I'm not really sure anyone would care?

This was fine work on a plane, but there are more pressing things to do now :(
Maybe some list-reader who wants some changelog glory could take this further?
