Renato,
There's no problem swapping the IP and Content columns, if that's what
you're asking for. Please confirm.
Within each group, however, I think the group would have a heck of a time
reaching consensus on what the "most used elements" are. Alphabetical order
is bone-headedly uncontroversial. (It's even a bit ironic how some of our
more controversial (embarrassing?) elements have risen to the top.)
On the other hand, there's lots of merit in your idea of presenting the
elements in a "most common first" order. Anybody want to chime in here?
