There's a "Sort alphabetically" check box in the context menu of
whatever-that-combobox-that-I-never-use-for-navigation-is-called. 
Maybe using that helps to ease your pain.

The main point here is that there's no "intrinsic" ordering of function 
implementation, and  "alphabetically sorting" is as arbitrary as anything 
else. 

The preferred way to locate a method in Qt Creator is to use the 
Locator facility, i.e. press Ctrl-K to open the Locator, further 'm', 
<space> to select functions: (independently of the file),  or '.',
<space> for  C++ symbols in the current file. There's no need to 
guess where a function definition is, or rely on coding standards,
when you can jump there directly.
