winecfg: Group together Windows server versions
With each new release of Windows comes a desktop and a server version. This should make the list a bit more tidy.
I don't think such grouping makes much sense, a list is currently sorted by NT version, why mess it up?
Because it's much tidier and users rarely care, or know, what "NT version" means. How many users really really really need Windows Server 2003 R2 when the default Windows 7 will do? It will just get much uglier with every new Windows release.
winecfg doesn't even list the NT versions so it's a fairly meaningless order to end users.
Okay, so you don't argue that it will mess it up :). Most users don't care I guess, but list currently attempts to show older versions at the end. It would probably help to show NT version too, and sort directly by something like "major << 16 | minor" value, but it could even more confusing.
By the way, is it solely your impression that it's hard to use as it is now or have you got any forum posts/bug reports where users complain about that?
