There's nothing wrong with it other than it's not possible to ensure
people get it right (see this patch). By actually alphabetizing the
list, we can programmatically check that things are ordered properly
(see patch 2/2).

I don't see a problem with reordering the groups... that doesn't make
anything harder.
