the reason was that in the early localizer interface, the strings would
just come up in whatever order. so you would do a couple of strings related
to images, then something else, then images came back. and at many points
throughout the localizer marathon i had to scan through the list up and
down or look into different files (we can solve that) to find the word i
had used for specific tasks, items, actions, whatever.

i thought ordering would not be hard, as it is done in sebastians solution
already. and it makes it easier, because we could group strings in the file
to make it easier to translate.

it would be really nice, but then again it is a one time job. however, if
you have done the localizer translation yourself, you would feel like i do.
