Here, the patch:

http://lists-archives.com/git/947170-prioritize-list-of-commands-appearing-in-git-1-via-command-list-txt-don-t-invoke-sort-in-documentation-cmd-list-perl.html

and the patched files for easy reference:

http://lists-archives.com/git/947350-de-alphabetize-command-list.html

Because of the way Git generates git(1), it was only necessary to
change 1 line of code, the rest of the patch is reordering a file
command-list.txt, which is used by multiple build targets and had been
alphabetized.

Thank for responding.
