If it was strictly alphabetical, I would agree. You might catch the
spirit of the idea a bit more if you re-read the bug from the first entry.

http://bugs.linuxfromscratch.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684

It's not about alphebatizing - it's about having a sane rationale for
the order of packages built. Where it doesn't matter what order (which
happens to be on quite a few packages...) it becomes better organized by
having them in alphabetical order. Also some dependencies are worked out
simply by placing them in alphabetical order. And absolutely all of it
will be documented.

Again, all of the above was said in the sake of making the concept
entirely clear to anyone who may not have been following up to now.

If you don't agree, you don't agree. Your comments are still welcome
because we need to see how many people like this idea, and how many do not.

Thanks.
