Some modules have names that are not identical to their titles. ed_classified as 'Classified Ads' is one, but not alone by far.

When you for Administration By Module the ordering is listed by module name, not title. Therefore, modules are listed out of order. The extreme example would be if a module is called aaa_something with a title 'Zebedee's Magic Node Router'. It will then display at the front of the list, not the end.

It's not major, but mildly annoying/confusing at times.

Cheers,

Miles

Here is a patch. Change directory to the Drupal directory and go to modules/system

The patch will update system.admin.inc

After that, when going to view Administration By Module all modules will be listed by title rather than module name.

Cheers,

Miles

Patch does not apply.

error: system.admin.inc: No such file or directory

-  foreach ($modules as $file) {
+  foreach ($modules as $module) {
+    $sortedmodules[$module->info['name']] = $module;
+  }
+  ksort($sortedmodules);
+  foreach ($sortedmodules as $file) {
     $module = $file->name;

I'm not a fan of the usage of $module for two different things immediately after one another here.
