The alphabetising as only way of ordering isn't helpful. I tried it with a stylesheet from a customer site and it threw away the comments and groupings I had in the sheet. It is easier to understand and maintain styles if there is a sensible grouping of style rules that match page sections or functions. For example, I had all nav menu styles grouped together and labelled with comments. Similarly I had all the generic page elements grouped together. In some cases it may be good to sort alphabetically within those groupings, but as David has noted, arbitary changes in the order of things can change the results, the a element is a good case with its LVHA ordering of the pseudo-elements being needed for proper functioning of the styles in many cases. -- Peter Williams
