 I agree (CLI and GUI should be consistent here).

There is no need for the CLI and GUI to be consistent with respect to options ordering. For the CLI, option order is irrelevant; options can be typed in any order.

For the GUI option order is very important because the user must access the options only in the order presented by the GUI. Thus we need to make sure the options order in the GUI section is the most logical and useable for the GUI. This section has no impact at all on the CLI.
