The current ordering rule is something like "chronological ordering of items within a section, but keep related items together". I've just begun converting the release notes (one section at a time) to an alphabetical sorting (on manpage references, filenames, or application names, with a few exceptions). With this, we'll stand a greater chance of people actually being able to find all the release notes relating to a particular command, API, or whatever. I just committed a change for the "Userland" section...the rest will follow, one at a time, over the next few weeks. If you happen to be in the mood for committing release notes to a section, take a quick look to see what the current state of that section is. Note that 4.4-STABLE's release notes already have the alphabetical ordering, which I imposed after the post-4.4-RELEASE truncation of the file.
