So the default behaviour wouldn't sort in the generated WebIDL, it would only sort the prose descriptions (which I'm guessing is what you mean here). This matches what is done in the DOM specs for instance. I want to keep that as the default.
I've added a noIDLSorting option which you can turn on to have the prose also be in document order. I added it to sysinfo and it seems to work.
