Cami, A general ordering of standard (so to speak) protocols would be nice indeed. But what about pretty local protocols? Like things in PetitParser for example. Alphabetical would be a nuisance.

You got me wrong there, I am talking about a user defined / preference dict. It's like choosing your preferred font. Of course this solution is very simplistic only holding up to a single global order. The other solution might be to simply replace the Dictionary in the new class organizer by something like an OrderedKeyDictionary plus a Nautilus plugin, DONE If you want my very personal opinion, I think it's not really helpful to have anything but alphabetic sorting. I use the new shortcuts in 2.0 to simply jump to the category I want, that saves me some couple of 100ms visual perception time on each selection.
No, the solution isn't yet another level of ill-defined "pattern matching" to try to get that result. Smalltalk has, from the beginning, been able to show good practice by letting it's developpers set well though-out conventions themselves, and by giving them the freedom to do so (maybe not consciously in some cases, but still). Regressing on that isn't good. Well, I personnaly will rebuilt yet another RPackage like system to get what I need, obviously.
I don't see any problem there.
By the way, have you noticed that on some systems, Pharo 2.0 starts to feel slow to use ?
in regard to what? I would say if you do a DeltaSlowness / AddedFeaturesIn2.0 you end up with something close to 0...
