See https://github.com/graydon/rust/blob/master/doc/rust.texi#L618 . The table is sorted column-first, and written row-first. Unless there is some tool to reorganize these that I don't know about, changing this table seems to involve manually re-sorting the whole thing, manually splitting it back into rows, and interleaving the sorted words in such a way that they align. No one should have to deal with that.

This gist was used to sort those. https://gist.github.com/1330076

I see. A system that requires a 100-line script to update a table still seems a bit clunky.

I didn't automated this whole thing yet, wasn't expecting keywords change soon then. I still find the resulting table in column-major ordering appealing.

Keywords are now listed in a plain text file. They're sorted in
column-major order and rendered as a texinfo multitable in rust.texi.

Fixes issue rust-lang#1216.
