If the default sort order cannot be changed now, can the custom sort options
at least be autoloaded? That would let users know that there is a workaround
available.
I did that.

I can't think of any other program that orders its options

Of course not.

And how do you know what custom group to look in? These are options that are
not autoloaded (so unavailable to C-h v and apropos) and are not mentioned
in any manual.
One way is to browse through the structure of custom groups.
But it would be good if Custom buffers had some menu bar

That's not the point. The point is that these should be well

So? Bug reports about customization don't concern such users, so ignore them
in the present context. If you don't care about customization either, then
perhaps someone else should respond to this bug report. I do care about
customization, and that's why I reported the bug.
Sorry. I herewith

We do not aim to mention all options in the manual.

They are customizable, so users should be able to find them.
Why would they look for them if they are not aware of them, to use your
logic?
If you want to change things about a certain feature (such as the
custom buffer interface), you look at its custom group and see

Of course not, and these probably need not be in a manual. My point was that

The options and faces should be in alphabetical order. The actual
order seems random.
Should be possible:

If non-nil, sort members of each customization group alphabetically.
