My preference would be:

* Anything where we're defining a new node with an address: sort by the address.

* If we are defining nodes without addresses: sort by node name (not by label!)

* In general I'd prefer to see addressless things before things with addresses.

* If we are overriding nodes that were defined in a parent makefile:
sort by the name of the parent label we refer to.


...so I think Matthias's sort order in this case is correct / consistent.
