Awesome, I love this new feature! Thank you for the patch.
The sorting is done on the dialog_list elements in the 'dialog_menu'
function, so on the option "representation" layer. The sorting could be
enabled/disabled by pressing the '>' key. The labels are sorted in the
following way:
1. Put all entries into the array (from the linked list)
2. Sort them alphabetically using qsort and custom comparator
3. Restore the items linked list structure
I know that this modification includes the ugly heruistics for
extracting the actual label text from " [ ] Some-option"-like
expressions (to be able to alphabetically compare the labels), and I
would be happy to discuss alternative solutions.
