I think the question when would ^methods be used? Would it be used by people who use the REPL to experiment with the languages? In that case the listing should be as user friendly as possible and require as little typing as possible. Having ABC order is IMHO the easiest to look through.
(e.g. in python it is dir(object) ) If there was some other, even easier way to get this list, that would be even better.
