This is something which can be done right now. The options and flags are
presented in the order as they are defined in the source code. These
additional rules currently apply in general: (one letter) flags are listed
before (key-value) options. Long (multi-letter standard) flags are listed
in between them. Additionally in GUI, before this sorting, the options and
flags are always sorted to the tabs according to the specified (or
automatically generated) (gui) sections. Typically options and flags
(separately or combined) with (gui) section are specified together in the
source code, consequently they are grouped in --help and manual (but
without visible borders or any other indication).

Of course, this doesn't mean that the (gui) section cannot be contain, for
example 'basic', 'common' and 'advanced' subsections.
