[PATCH] $sort_browser does'n t take "subject" order. Documentation is wrong.
manual.sgml says that the default value of the $sort_browser
variable is "subject", but that's wrong. It should be "alpha."
It is in fact SORT_SUBJECT, but translated to "alpha" internally.
I wrote a patch to hack makedoc.c. This is not smart at all.
But the problem itself is a design flaw IMHO. Gave up.
