Order of Items in Palettes Box
Why are items in the "Palettes" box ordered the way they are? To me it is totally random.

It's meant to be somewhat logical in terms the order you would add these elements in, or at least keeping related elements together. Eg, clefs, key, time signatures , and brackets"belong" together in some sense, so do the various types of text. One can quibble a few specific choices - it's been observed that barlines shouldn't buried in the middle like that, for example.

IMO such a long list of items should be alphabetized. Period. Ordering stuff into groups is something that one could do with one's own palettes.

No, it should not. It should and needs to be in the same order independant of which language is used and should be kept in order of importacne and topics. MuseScore is translatable into 65 languages, so potentially 65 different orders.
Otherwise the documentations becomes very difficult to maintain. And for users switch between languages it becomes difficult too

In addition to the translation issue, by that logic, menus should be alphabetized as well, and settings in every dialog. That's just not the way user interfaces work. And users should not need to manually reorder things to get a basic level of logic to the UI.

However, you are free to create your own workspace with your own set of palettes in the order you prefer them to be.
