hmmmm... I don't believe, that sorting gives an additional information  
that is suitable for most people in this case. To find what you need in an  
alphabetical list, you have to know at least, with what letter a word  
begins. That means you have to know, if the property for example is called  
maxHeight or heightMax. So, if you don't know anything, alphabetical  
ordering won't help. If you know something you can use the search field of  
your browser.

For stdWrap it is pretty important to leave the sorting as it is, because  
the functionality depends on it as JoH mentioned. I don't know, if it's in  
other tables the same.

However, I would rather have the properties sorted as they belong together  
and as JoH mentioned by importance. For the TEMPLATE-Object for example it  
would be nice to have a sorting like this: template, workOnSubpart,  
subparts, marks, ...
