Hi,

I think relying on the order might not be a good idea, as things can
change dynamically. If you want to sort things by groups, why don't
you add a prefix to the channel names to indicate grouping?

But OTOH, I think there should be no alphabetical ordering done, as it
is unnecessary, although users should not really rely on the order
being preserved.

Cheers,
Andrés
