- The sorting actually only worked in English, and
not in any translated languages.
- The ordering would bias players towards focusing
on alphabetically-first hints, which are not
necessarily the best to try. Shuffling instead
should suggest alternative options each time the
tab is brought up.
- The ordering-bias effect is probably worse for
non-English where it's less obvious that there's
a mundane and non-meaningful reason why they
are in a particular order.
In theory we're losing the ability to quickly check
for a hint with known text is in one of the lists on
the tab for English speakers but this is not really
a core intended use-case for hints.
