 I don't think so, there is no reason to leave CLI and GUI syntax
 description inconsistent. The order of parameters should be logical. Yes,
 you can type them in order whatever you like, the point here is module
 usage description, e.g. v.in.ascii

 input -> tab 'Required'
 output -> tab 'Required'

 fs -> not defined (tab 'Optional')
 skip ->not defined (tab 'Optional')

 columns -> tab 'Columns'
 x > tab 'Columns'
 y -> tab 'Columns'
 z -> tab 'Columns'
 cat -> tab 'Columns'

 and some flags ...

 yes, anyway I think the order of parameters given to G_parser() should be
 logical and be grouped by guisection identifier.
