The idea of having it not alphabetized, but doing it by a script, was to let people actually _read_ it. There is nothing more annoying than having to jump forward and backward and eventually be lost.

glossary, as I started it, was topologically ordered: no Git term was used before it was described (at least that was the plan).

Ciao, Dscho
