If we arrange only the "Asynchronous Behaviour" subsection in
alphabetical order, I think the order may not be maintained in case of
new GUCs that may get added there. Because all the other subsections
are unordered and there's no note of maintaining the order as such.
And, it looks like the relevant GUCs are grouped for better
readability. For instance, all "parallelism", "io_concurrency", "jit_"
related GUCs are together. Developers tend to add the new GUCs in
relevant areas.

So, -1 for reordering.
