[slime-devel] Re: Sorting contributors by last name

Hi,

attached is a small patch which sorts the Contributors section in the slime docs by last name. Of course it is a heuristic (uses last _word_ as main sorting key), but it works for non-funky cases. (Patch is attached.)

For a better challenge how about sorting by number of ChangeLog entries?

That has the advantage of handling overflow. There are 40 names recorded in the ChangeLog so far and we're probably going to run out of page space at some point :-)

BTW, if any texinfo hacker can see why the manual blows the stack in texi2pdf that would be really appreciated. The PDF version of our manual is unnecessarily ugly at present due to ps2pdf'ification.
