Is that a theoretical question or don't you like the change I made
to the installboot man page?

In general, I think that alphabetical order makes it easier to find
out what a particular option does, and provides consistency.

However, there are pages (like pax(1)) where I thought that some
options are more important than others and need to be presented
first.

Cheers,
