<font size="2"><font face="Arial">In pra<font size="2">ctical, IMO,
alphabetical ordering of folders and su</font></font></font>bfolders
is not necessarily<br>
the most handy, because it would prevent in a list to "gather"
subfolders that deal<br>
around a same topic, without having to gather them in a
subsubfolder.<br>
Nesting too deeply subfolders with only few items is not more handy.<br>
<br>
By the way, technically, the en_US release of the help tree imposes
the ordering <br>
of folders. If the ordering was according to their en_US names, it
would be<br>
relevant only for the en_US release, and mostly unrelevant in other
languages.<br>
<br>
For item bullets: The order is already quasi-alphabetical. "quasi"
because actually,<br>
for non en_US versions, there are 2 sublists: <br>
* the first sublist lists items for which a page translated in the
locale exists.<br>
* them the second sublist restarts from "a" items, for en_US
versions of<br>
pages for untranslated items.<br>
I agree with you that it would be preferable to get a single mixed
list<br>
fully sorted in alphabetical order. Some work has been started to
fix this issue<br>
posted has bug <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugzilla.scilab.org/11692">http://bugzilla.scilab.org/11692</a> , but is not yet
completed, due<br>
to some complications regarding the building of cross-references.<br>
<br>
Finally, another problem is that items are by far too numerous at
the top level<br>
of the help. This has motivated several reports like this one<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12872">http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12872</a><br>
AFAIK, presently, this kind of changes are intricated with the
structure of/in modules.<br>
