Items in help page are not alphabetically ordered.

Sorry, forgot to attach the patch (the file attachment field is cleared when using preview).

Do you mean using the new parameter to get modules sorted? Oh yeah, I missed that issue.

When it gets in, I may update the patch here. Is that ok?

I have made another version that breaks the list of modules into 4 columns, using the same CSS trick used for the handbook pages.

Please see attached screenshot. I may update the patch with it, if the idea worths.

Patch re-rolled, with one dependency on another issue, it uses the module $sort argument implemented here:
http://drupal.org/node/46617

Please, review. (You can see how it looks in the gif attached to comment #4).

Well, the $sort argument in module_list() has been finally applied to HEAD by this issue :-)

This is how the help page looks with this patch:
http://drupal.org/files/issues/help_page.gif

Summary of changes introduced:
1) Optimized using module_implements().
2) Modules sorted alphabetically.
3) Modules listed in 4 columns.
4) Moved some text to the "help" area of the page.
5) correct $output initialization.

Thoughts?

It may not be critical, but is it acceptable to ship 4.7 with the help page ordering modules by weight? Not all modules implement help text, so it is not easy to find if is there anything there of your interest, specially when you have several contrib modules installed.

Is there anything wrong with the proposed patch?

Forgot to add the CSS classes used to render the columns.

Please, consider this for 4.7. At least, the help page ought to list modules alphabetically ordered, IMHO.

Maybe it helps to review it, posting a pre patched help.module?

Though you would have to add the following to the drupal.css file...

 /*
** help module
*/
.help-items-left {
  float: left;
  width: 22%;
  padding-right: 3%;
}
.help-items-right {
  float: left;
  width: 22%;
}

Can anyone please tell me what did I do wrong here? It makes me feel strange. Is ordering modules in help page too bad? insignificant? All I try is help wherever I can... I'm thinking that you do not really want some kind of help. Is it that difficult to say no, this one is going to be delayed for 4.8... or keep this, remove that, whatever. ...and this is not the first time. You keep asking for community help, but there is something that doesn't seem to work correctly here.

I could undestand if this was a feature request, but it isn't. In 4.6, modules in help were ordered alphabetically. It is certainly not a critical issue, but someone spent sometime to provide a fix for something and even with an screenshot, or even the 130 lines of the full script to make it easy to test. Is it that difficult to press the follow up link?

Is this response meaning that you don't like what I do here? Oh well, maybe there are better things I can do elsewhere.

Thanks for the comments, really appreciated.

Let's say this is RTC then.
