Recent versions of Monticello maintain category ordering.  Note that
"recent" here may mean "from CVS".  I don't release new snapshots of
Monticello to SM very often because having a constantly changing source
code output format wreaks havoc on a CVS repository (Julian and Ned will
back me up on this ;).

Reorganizing categories will produce quite small diffs - one of the goals
of DVS and Monticello was to keep the output as stable as possible
in the face of various kinds of reorganization.
