Increasing Accessibility of Reference Section: Show the items in sorted order

Increasing Access

Currently, in the reference section, all the reference items are listed in an arbitrary order, which makes it difficult to search for a particular item manually, and thus reduces the accessibility to the site.

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

These items must be sorted alphabetically before being displayed.

I would like to work on this issue.

Hi @EshaanAgg I'm the steward for reference page. Sorting the functions in reference page will actually help in searching out for a particular function. However I think the current page is in order of relevance for example: describe element() function is after describe (). If this is not an issue we can definitely go for sorting. Tagging @limzykenneth for further discussion

The order currently is probably related to the order in which the relevant inline documentation are defined in the source file. I think sorting it alphabetically would be great and this should probably be done on render to avoid having to modify any data.
