I prefer alphabetical ordering myself, makes sense. But it's not that a big of an issue. You don't use JMeter for general purposes, but for specific tasks. So you can always hide the samplers you don't really need / use (from jmeter.properties). My sampler menu has only 6-7 entries (and probably could loose 2 extra-samplers from those), that's the only way you can find samplers easily. In this case sorting them isn't that much of an issue...
