I don't get that impression. Rather, the list is sorted alphabetically,
with no bearing on dependency chains other than that explicitly
requested modules appear with less indentation.

Maybe listing the dependency of each module would be nicer than the
current alphabetic list, but I'm not bothered by it enough to write the
patch myself.
