8.5.3 ordering option

This is the "alphabetize or use named file" option.

This option has some usage constraints. It:

• is enabled by default.

By default, ordering is alphabetical by the entry name. Use, no-ordering if order is unimportant. Use ordering with no argument to order without case sensitivity. Use ordering=<file-name> if chronological order is important. getdefs will maintain the text content of file-name. file-name need not exist.
