We already have a security category for security related issues, so I 
don't think that should skew the sorting.  As for the rest of your 
proposed order, then that is a matter of personal taste: Do you really 
think that adding new features is more important than fixing bugs in the 
existing documentation?

Part of the problem with gnats is that its report generation is fairly 
primitive; having started use bugzilla on GCC recently, the difference is 
clearly vast.
