Description Paul Verbeek 2013-02-08 15:53:42 UTC 
On some lists, like on the CanvasRenderingContext2D page (http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/canvas/CanvasRenderingContext2D) the list isn't correctly alphabetised. Here the "lineCap" property is at the top of the list.
Comment 1 David Kirstein (Frozenice) 2013-02-08 17:14:59 UTC 
The problem is that these lists are sorted by the *complete* page title (all slashes etc.) and the lineCap page was (at first) filed under /api/ and not /apis/. Seems to be fixed now.

It's a general problem, though. If a page's API_Name property doesn't correspond to the page's full path, it will be in an odd position in the listing.

Will take a look at the semantic query behind the listing and see if we can sort by what's actually displayed (the API_Name) and not the full path.

The page has indeed been moved, by Scott Rowe.
