Cami,

A general ordering of standard (so to speak) protocols would be nice indeed.

But what about pretty local protocols?  Like things in PetitParser for
example. Alphabetical would be a nuisance.

You got me wrong there, I am talking about a user defined / preference dict.
It's like choosing your preferred font. Of course this solution is very
simplistic
only holding up to a single global order.

The other solution might be to simply replace the Dictionary in the new
class organizer by something like an OrderedKeyDictionary plus a Nautilus
plugin, DONE

If you want my very personal opinion, I think it's not really helpful to
have anything but alphabetic sorting. I use the new shortcuts in 2.0 to
simply
jump to the category I want, that saves me some couple of 100ms visual
perception time on each selection.

been able to show good practice by letting it's developpers set well
though-out conventions themselves, and by giving them the freedom to do so
(maybe not consciously in some cases, but still). Regressing on that isn't
good. Well, I personnaly will rebuilt yet another RPackage like system to
get what I need, obviously.

I don't see any problem there.

in regard to what? I would say if you do a DeltaSlowness /
AddedFeaturesIn2.0 you end
up with something close to 0...
