Hi,
When you click on Edit-->Preferences you are presented with the Ethereal: Preferences dialog box. 

On the LHS, this dialog box now contains:

[+] User Interface
    Capture
    Printing
    Name Resolution
[+] Protocols
However, I believe that there is a case to be made that they should be listed alphabetically: 

   Capture
   Name Resolution
   Printing
[+] Protocols
[+] User Interface
The problem, of course, is that User Interface will be out of view if Protocols is expanded. 

Are there any preferences?


I would strongly disagree!

I can't see any benefit for the user, to have it listed alphabetically.
When changing the sequence of the preference topics, I was thinking about what the user will like to change first.
And also put the protocol topic as the last one, as this will "hide" other main topics when expanded.
