I left it as-is since I don't have time to do anything else. This
results in a bad user experience since the options are now all sorted
into alphabetical order instead of the meaningful groupings that I had
them in.

I don't have time to do that right now, and this should not be
necessary in order to maintain backwards compatibility with what I
already had. I can accept adding the NO_OPTIONS_SORT knob, but the
fact that adding it causes things to be dramatically more broken than
they already are is a bug.

I described what I did in detail in my OP. Adding NO_OPTIONS_SORT was
the only change I made.
