1. Reminder: The bug report was about the default order of options in a custom buffer. If it were alphabetical, users could find options there easier. I don't see the utility of the current default order, which I mistook to be more or less random. The explanation I got was that this default order reflects the guideline to "write options such that an option `bar' depending on an option `foo' appears in the customization buffer after `foo' unless the user deliberately changed that order." What is the reason for that guideline, and just what kind of dependency are we talking about here? What makes the default order a good one for users? 2. If the current default order is kept, is there a reason that the custom sort options shouldn't be autoloaded, so that users can find out about them through `C-h v' or `apropos'? _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
