I agree that a more or less random historical order does not make much
sense.

For pgbench, ISTM that sorting per functionality then alphabetical would
be better than pure alphabetical because it has 2 modes. Such sections
might be (1) general (2) connection (3) common/shared (4) initialization
and (5) benchmarking, we some comments on each.

What do you think? If okay, I'll send you a patch for that.
