I think ordering in order of how they appear in the build would be pretty nice too, although that might be difficult to maintain over time and adds an extra thing to keep in the back of the mind when adding new plugins. Alphabetical just came to mind because there have been a couple (many) of times where I've gone sifting through the poms to check for version numbers and thought it might be nice to have a consistent and organized way to do so.
