Comment (by iflairwebtechnologies):

 Thanks! Yes — the sorting is based strictly on the actual filenames and
 directory names, not on their display labels. The goal of this patch is to
 improve consistency and predictability by alphabetizing entries without
 altering existing labels or UI text.

 I agree that reversing the label format (e.g. functions.php (Theme
 Functions)) could better align with alphabetization, but that would be a
 UI/UX change and feels better suited for a separate follow-up patch to
 keep this change focused.
