import re

# Define a regular expression to match the [#] pattern
pattern = re.compile(r'\[#(\d+)\]')

# Read the file and extract the number from each line
lines = []
with open('filename.txt', 'r') as f:
    prevmatch = 10000000000000
    for line in f:
        match = pattern.search(line)
        if match:
            number = int(match.group(1))
            lines.append((number, line))
            prevmatch = number
        else:
            lines.append((prevmatch, line))

# Sort the lines based on the extracted numbers in decreasing order
sorted_lines = [line for _, line in sorted(lines, reverse=True)]

# Write the sorted lines back to the file
with open('filename.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.writelines(sorted_lines)

GitHub Copilot Chat did most of that. I then copied each category into a temporary file and let the script sort it.

At final we should remove the PRs that have already been included in point versions in the meantime.
