I was looking for a split function, but it appears not after other split functions.
So I guess the order is not alphabetical?

as noted in my comment on the issue, I don't want to automate the sorting, but if anyone wants to make a PR to make the stdlib alphabetical for now (or alphabetical with types at the top) I'm fine with that - would be an improvement over the status quo!

What about making it configurable? So each library author can decide how to generate.

Or, even better: add a sort option to the site, so every visitor can decide how they want to browse.

It's about ~5 lines of JS.

I would use alphabetical sort most of the time. Just like many others.
