The alternative would be to group them by function, such as putting 
things which affect the device (dev=, speed=, burnfree, etc) in one 
group, things which affect format (-D -R -N, etc) in another, things 
which affect how the content is scanned (-f, etc), information 
visibility (various -hide and -hidden options), and rename options 
(-graft-points, etc).
   
 
Functional grouping makes it faster to find things if you are looking 
for "a way to keep long filenames" or something like that, alphabetical 
is easier if you know the option and want to check what it does.
   
Functional grouping makes it harder for the people who need the manual
because the know little about the program.
