Again, Fortran 77 is part of the GCC distribution.  So their docs
should be together, in order to allow them to be updated
simultaneously.

Please suggest a better order.  The current order was the best we
could think of.  I think it is better than the alphabetical order.

People don't really have to read all that list, or search it for
certain entries.  Typing "m emacs RET" will get you to the Emacs
manual from anywhere in the menu.  So the order is less important than
you seem to think.
