is about refining the labels and descriptions used within the workflow for creating a new field. Some field types are grouped and displayed on the second step of the multi-step form within a dialog modal. If we compare the current field type labels within the formatted text group with the current draft in their particular display order:
... you notice that the Before version is in an alphabetically as well as logical order, going from simple to more complex formatted field types. The After version of the current draft is also in an alphabetical sort order, but that sort order, due to rewording, is not in a logical order anymore. But simply changing the order in a fixed manner might not work in every scenario, if you have a small number of module like with the standard install it would work, but if you have several contrib modules adding field types, that list becomes lengthy and in that case an alphabetical order
We haven't completely thought it through, but the initial idea/suggestion was to provide an option to customize the order of the field types, maybe based on certain constraints; for example if there are more than x number of field types then use an alphabetical order otherwise use a predefined one.
