Probably because the current code follows the rule of "Don't switch on 
a fancy option by default unless it's clearly better than the alternative",
and I even tend to agree that the rule applies here, and the current default 
is good. But since I don't use the combobox at all, that's not a strong opinion. 

If people who actually use the combobox agree that alphabetical order
should take precedence over the order in which the functions are defined,
the default can be changed. A patch is now on Gerrit (#74614) and awaits
comments.
