The table that describes the configuration options on http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php suffers from a small but annoying usability problem: the options aren't sorted in any logical order.  It would maybe make sense to have the configuraion options listed in alphabetical order to make it easier to scan the list in order to find a certain option.

Some nice source code formatting to the pages would be nice, too.  Check out the code for the table that lists the options and you'll see what I mean.

If anyone else doesn't want to take the time to do it, I could fix the table myself and submit it.

they are sortet in the way phpinfo() shows them. If we change it here IMHO phpinfo needs to be changed as well. what about reorganizing the phpinfo()output to be sorted alphabetically.

I'm looking at the output of phpinfo() for 4.0.6 (Not sure about 4.1 which was just released) and all the directives *are* listed in alphabetical order, e.g. allow_call_time_pass_reference, allow_url_fopen, arg_separator.input, arg_separator.output, etc. all the way down to y2k_compliance.

What about integrating the contents of this useful table into a new (and improved) version of config.xml ?  My only concern is config may then seem bloated (ie. too much information). But, if layed out nicely it could be beautiful! :)

Btw, config.xml lists configuration options alphabetically (within given sections), if not integrated then, imho, ini_set listings should be too.

Anyway, config.xml is undergoing some revisions, and in the meantime I sorted the options.
