Description

This is one of those completely minor items, but I think a slight usability improvement.

When adding usage examples, the ordering of the arguments appear to be in alphabetic order as per argument name.
This doesn't match the ordering of the arguments in the 'help list' where they are listed by defined order (which I personally refer).

It would be great if the usage example ordering matched the 'help list' ordering.

Research direction

The issue concerns usage-example generation and the argument ordering shown by the help list, but it names no files or tests. Locate the code that assembles usage examples, compare its ordering with the help-list generation, and identify the relevant test area; done means examples follow the defined argument order consistently.
