How well did you read the manual?
The datadef files are generated from text files by using abdef.exe
They can be undef'ed by using abundef.exe (surprise, surprise
You cannot directly edit a datadef file. (This is definitely in the
manuals)
Option sort is done in two ways. In the def file, there is a section
for Option categories. Options are sorted according to their
categories in the order specified in the def file. If a number of
options are in the same category, they are sorted alphabetically
within the category.
Enjoy
