Sort by length - with longest entry first. Like an xmas tree upside-down.
For entries with same lenght sort alphabetically.

Advocated in some places for includes and other places for local variables.

One recent reference is for example this:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=140510662905580&w=2

I will rephrase it like this:

# Sort entries using inverse xmas style:
# Longest entries first, alphabetically when legth is the same.

OK?
	Sam
