doc: sorting in doc/api/cli? #19814
Description
Activity
+1 to alphabetical sorting. It's the most obvious thing to do, so let's not give people something to figure out if we don't have to.
@vsemozhetbyt are you executing on this? Can help if needed.
I think the command line options are listed in the order they appear in
node --help.I think the command line options are listed in the order they appear in node --help.
Those should probably be alphabetized as well. :-D (FWIW,
python --helpandls --helpshow alphabetized listings on my machine.)@willhayslett If we have some consensus for this here with no objections in some days, please, feel free to make a PR.
@vsemozhetbyt, doc specific PR submitted.
Should we also alphabetize the
node --helpoutput as well?Reacted by Vse Mozhe ButyI think if the PR is adopted we definitely will need to sort this as well.
Reacted by Rich TrottShould we also alphabetize the
node --helpoutput as well?Yes, I think ideally the ordering will be kept the same for both. So if we change one, we should change the other at the same time.

Currently, both command line options and environment variables in the
clidoc are not sorted alphabetically.I am not sure if these lists use some logic or time order that has to be preserved.
Is it worth to sort them ASCII-wise?
