I still think that we need to sort things alphabetically, or to not sort
things at all, as any other sort criteria would be just a random criteria.

E. g. on a non-alphabetical criteria, what should come first between bttv,
saa7134, ivtv and cx88? Except by the alphabetical order, any order between 
them will be just a random criteria, as people will argue that driver "foo"
should be the first one, probably because they have more hardware of that
type ;)

In my case, I would vote for saa7134 as I currently have more hardware of
that type. A few years ago, my vote would be for cx88. I bet you'll vote
for ivtv ;)
