Could you say more specifically how you would arrange the order? From a small sampling of our manpages, it seems we don't have "one true" style of ordering options (except from alphabetically, see attached patch). Some manpages order A-Z, then a-z, while others (Apple and OpenBSD seem to do this) order AaBb...Zz.
