Subject: [PATCH] docs: Makefile: Sort Documentation targets case-insensitively in make help
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 06:59:22 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251015012922.19467-1-bhanuseshukumar@gmail.com> (raw)

Avoid case-sensitive sorting when listing Documentation targets in make help.
Previously, targets like PCI and RCU appeared ahead of others due to uppercase
names.

Normalize casing during _SPHINXDIRS generation to ensure consistent and
intuitive ordering.

Fixes: 965fc39f7393 ("Documentation: sort _SPHINXDIRS for 'make help'")
Signed-off-by: Bhanu Seshu Kumar Valluri <bhanuseshukumar@gmail.com>
---
 Notes
 - Patch is tested with make help command.
 - Verified case-insensitive sorting.
