Documented in one order...

inserted into the longopt in a different order...

then spelled out in the first order...

...and finally implemented in yet another order.  While it doesn't
impact code correctness, it does impact maintainability (it would be
nice to use one common order among all four locations, rather than 3
different orders).  Arguably, some of it is pre-existing, so I won't
require a respin, but it is worth considering.
