Thank you for doing this.

I have one small comment on your patch.  The comment "Sort list alphabetically." is not correct.  The result of adding the call to nreverse means the list will be in the order the items were found in the info node.  In the case of an index node that will be alphabetically, in the case of other nodes, it is unlikely to be.

Is it the case that this won't show up until Emacs 28.1?

Howard
