With a growing amount of Kernel configuration, it's
getting ever more difficult to find anything on
menuconfig. Because of that, implement mergesort for
kconfig to make it a little easier for anybody
building kernels.

let me know if you folks prefer to turn this into
default behavior and drop the extra Sort button, I
didn't wanna be too disruptive by default and, at
least for now, kept Kconfig as it is and require
user to either press '.' or move cursor to the Sort
button and hit ENTER.

Anyway, give it a go and let me know if anybody sees
any issues which I might have missed.

Hi,

Please explain the problem and the solution better.  I don't
get it.

Thanks.

it's unclear to me what you don't understand from description above. Try
to find and enable some random driver on menuconfig. Here's a
suggestion:

"Maxim Semiconductor MAX77843 PMIC Support"

In any case, the idea is the following:

menuconfig has too many options, they are unsorted -> sort them

yeah, I had no problem with that.  / (Search) works very well, sorted
or not.

Maybe I'm not in your target market.

The addition of < Sort > to the bottom menu items is displayed (partially)
in an 80-column-wide terminal window: (oh, I see, it wraps, still not good)

  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  
  ?        <Select>    < Exit >    < Help >    < Save >    < Load >    < Sort

I still think that you have an inadequate problem statement to justify
the patch.  Nothing against the patch itself.

thanks,
