Could we please have a more consistent buttons order (by category) for items in both lists (Buttons and Analog Axes)?

An example of such items order:

  • System Buttons (Start, Coin, Test..)
  • Directions (Up, Down, Left, Right)
  • Action Buttons (Button 1.. Button 8)
  • Action Hotkeys (1+2+3, 4+5+6, ...)
  • UI Actions (Menu, Exit, Fast Forward)
  • Recording Actions (Quick Load, Quick Save, Record 1..3, Play 1..3, Switch Player)

For the user it would be easier to follow a list ordered by category.
Right now, the flow of mapping controls is pretty hard to follow.

This applies to both Arcade Controls and Dreamcast Controls mapping conventions. I used Arcade Controls since the mapping layout is more familiar to me.

Thank you for your time!
