OTOH, you're likely to get the same effect by
sorting the i18n files by
key
(which I recently learned some teams enforce), since
it's not that common
that you add a new message alphabetically after every other message in the
file.
Sorting alphabetically by key seems rather pointless to me, though I might
miss some advantage of this. I tend to group by features, but not strictly.
Sorting alphabetically doesn't relate to what I wrote; apihelp messages
will be in the beginning, and new messages might get added in the end.
Using my proposal, messages will be rarely added in the end of the file.
