Hello John,

Would you consider the possibility to provide a means of alphabetical
ordering of the Help Browser content folders, subfolders and
respective item bullets.
Would you let me know you thoughts on the matter, and if you need the
completed SEP form.
In practical, IMO, alphabetical ordering of folders and subfolders is
not necessarily
the most handy, because it would prevent in a list to "gather"
subfolders that deal
around a same topic, without having to gather them in a subsubfolder.
Nesting too deeply subfolders with only few items is not more handy.
By the way, technically, the en_US release of the help tree imposes the
ordering
of folders. If the ordering was according to their en_US names, it would be
relevant only for the en_US release, and mostly unrelevant in other
languages.
For item bullets: The order is already quasi-alphabetical. "quasi"
because actually,
for non en_US versions, there are 2 sublists:
* the first sublist lists items for which a page translated in the
locale exists.
* them the second sublist restarts from "a" items, for en_US versions of
pages for untranslated items.
I agree with you that it would be preferable to get a single mixed list
fully sorted in alphabetical order. Some work has been started to fix
this issue
posted has bug http://bugzilla.scilab.org/11692 , but is not yet
completed, due
to some complications regarding the building of cross-references.
Finally, another problem is that items are by far too numerous at the
top level
of the help. This has motivated several reports like this one
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12872
AFAIK, presently, this kind of changes are intricated with the structure
of/in modules.
Best regards
Samuel Gougeon
