What I've done in the past is roughly to ignore anything which isn't
alphabetical from the top, and place it within that subset.  I
simetimes change that (if there's a group of HAVE_xxx which is already
sorted, I add it within that sub-group.)

In other words, try to sensibly place it so the addition itself is
alphabetically between two other options which are already so sorted.
