I do generally find myself asking "whats that thing at that address"
more than I find myself asking the "wheres that piece of hardware" so
Andreas' sorting scheme makes more sense to me. Vertically scanning a
DT to give yourself an overview of the system level address map is
good too. Wheras alphabetic sorting doesn't mean to much.

What advantage would sorting by
