Hi Ernesto,

I chose to go with an FYI as I'm the original developer of the sysext, 
thus I should know best what's going on with it and where to change 
things. The same does apply to rtehtmlarea, felogin, dbal, and 
scheduler, doesn't it?
Second, I talked to Olly already and got his ok to go with a FYI24.

What's a "do it different than you propose" then?

Well, first people complain about the list not being structured, now 
they complain about a straight forward alphabetical sorting, what know?

To me that's demanding something again, aren't you demanding 
categorization here?
I actually do see a point in categorization, but I also see 
disadvantages with it - especially not being able to simply copy&paste 
the whole table to a bug report or support email (from a customer to a 
agency f.e.) at once. Thus I'm not in favor of categorization yet.

Anyways, if you want that change, come up with a patch, but please don't 
block others because of your demands which you aren't willing to 
contribute to yourself.


best
Ingo
