Apologies, I was very unclear -- I didn't want to talk about the
ordering of entries in the code, but the categorization. See the
config_group_names list in guc_tables.c, which defines some groups.
Each setting belongs into a group, and those groups correspond to what
the sample config file lists as section/subsection titles and to the
grouping in the docs. Also, this categorization affects how the entries
are listed in the pg_settings view and in "postgres --describe-config",
which feed from the same tables.
Perhaps with your changes (assuming I read your commit message right),
we need new groups:
VACUUMING
VACUUMING_FREEZING
VACUUMING_AUTOVACUUM
Thanks
