I like to flip between alphabetical and order-of-appearance because I have code 
grouped into sections using dummy handler names, like:

on ____UTILITY_HANDLERS____
end ____UTILITY_HANDLERS____ 

on stsGoURL
   …
end stsGoURL

So in order-of-appearance mode I see the handlers grouped… but sometimes I 
don't remember what group it was in, but just remember its name - which is when 
I switch to alphabetical. 

Unfortunately it's a pain to have to go to the Preferences to do this each 
time, so I have encapsulated these into handlers I run when I need them. The 
core code is:

put "cScriptEditor,editor,sortHandlerList" into tProp
set the tProp of stack "revPreferences" to "Alphabetical"  -- or 
"Order-of-Appearance"
dispatch "updateOpenScriptEditors" to stack "revPreferencesGUI"
