Because then the icons in the mcs settings window are sorted by
caption ;)

The plugin_name is not shown, so sorting the displayed icons by it is
kinda pointless...

Well, if two captions are not unique, they will be just ordered in some
whatever order, its not like they will vanish (plus if there were two
icons in the settings window with the same caption I'd scream terror and
change it :D)

paranoid ones always could use:
int res = strcoll(a.caption, b.caption);
if (res == 0)
  res = strcoll(a.plugin_name, b.plugin_name);
return res;

:D

cheers,
  Danny
