Here's one suggestion .. how about we use a system similar to the old |
| 25 |
init naming scheme of: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
[<char>]<2-digit><name> |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
where the 2-digit defines the first-order sorting, and then by |
| 30 |
alphabetical thereafter? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Just a random idea... |
