I was trying to compare two config.cfg files recently and found that the order of the cvars changes with every save.
==> no way to easily compare ==> bad for bug hunting.

I tried to change that myself and found the code where the cvars are written, but no place where they're loaded from file (I'd suggest to do the sorting at load time).

This can be karked as an "easy contribution" as Nate suggested.

thl2000 also suggested to do it at *save time*. The function Cvar_WriteVariables() in cvar.cpp is the place,
A possible Approach would be to abuse the hash_next ptr in cvar_t (which is no longer needed at that point in time) to create a sorted list and then print that.
