Listing functions in a file IN ORDER

[Jean Brouwers]

Instead of listing the functions explicitly what about something like
this:

  functions = [(name, function) for name, function in globals().items()
if callable(function) and name.startswidth('do')]
  functions.sort()

  for _, function in functions:
      function(*args)
