I like methods to be in alphabetical order within their categories to make them easy to find.Actually, in OpenStep specicication, methods are in alphabetical order within activity group. If by "categories" you mean that groups, then everything is ok.
No, I mean 'categories' to be taken in the technical sense used in the Objective-C language.Purely from a legalistic point of view, it is probably better to lay the code out as differently from the OpenStep/MacOS-X layouts as reasonably possible in order to make it difficult for any claim of copyright infringement ... though
personally I don't really think we have much reason to worry about that.So ... while I have no intention of asking anyone to structure things the way I happen to like, I would not like to be told to structure them the way OpenStep/Apple do, and I think that if a recommendation is made at all, it should be that we *don't*
follow that style.
