Currently the settings category list sorts its entries by order of registration. This doesn't mix well with addons as there's little consistency between when addons register their settings categories; some may do it directly in the main body of a script, some may do it after ADDON_LOADED, and some may wait even later than that. Further, addon load order is also not strictly alphabetical due to dependency requirements.
All in all, this can result in a users' settings category list looking a bit like the following - mostly sane, until it devolves near the end into a jumbled mess. It'd be nice if settings categories for addons would sort by name, rather than registration order.
