I actually think that this grouping doesn't really help as it's pretty hard to find documentation by extension now as they are no longer sorted alphabetically. Now people first need to find the correct category and *then* the correct extension. I think this new categorization thing only makes things worse.
The chapters are only alphatic ordered in the English version - at least with the current (old) build system the German version is ordered in the same sequence as the English one so it isn't alphabetic anymore and if I exactly know what I want I use Mozillas TypeAhead so I don't need it sorted alphabetic.
Just a users note...
Good point. "Arrays" becomes "Tömbök" in Hungarian, so it is only ordered alphabetically in the English version. By the way, we had quite a few bug reports and doc people complaining about the 'alphabetical' ordering, since it is very hard to find related extensions this way, and it is getting worse with the addition of more and more PECL extensions. We can introduce an "alphabetical index of extensions" appendix if you think this helps.
BTW it would be nice to get other's opinions, especially now that Derick cc-ed the development list :)
