Actually, if there is no "most important" item in a section, I just
order by placing the largest group of similar items first. Here are the
detais:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Creating_Major_Release_Notes
order inside of sections
most important item first in section
if none, then largest group first
group similar items together
order group by item importance
ideally the last item in a group will relate to the first item in the next group
