Yes, I think it should be committed.  I don't think the order of the hf[]
grouping means much when searching for a filter name.

In my use case, I wanted to filter for "kerberos.msg.type == AS-REP", but I
also wanted to know what other values for kerberos.msg.type were valid, so I
went looking for the filter name to see the list of all predefined values. 
Unfortunately, finding kerberos.msg.type was not that easy because the filter
names were not alphabetized.

And now that I think about it, the predefined values should be alphabetized
too.
