Glyphicons in documentation are in no particular order

[hlship]

It would be much better if they were sorted alphabetical order.

This is from the current documentation for 2.0.3:

Related icons are grouped together (player controls, for example). Alphabetizing would break those groups up, and it wouldn't help with finding an icon unless you knew its name, in which case using the browser search should work.

The order is dictated by the PSD that we use (which comes right from Glyphicons itself). We won't be changing that.
