	// We sort deterministically, first by kind, and then by name. In

	// a chance to get grouped into http:ui, before http:ui gets grouped
	// into http:server, because once that happens, http:ui:text will never
	// get grouped, and this won't work properly. This works, because when
	// we start comparing iteratively the list of resources, it does this
	// with a O(n^2) loop that compares the X and Y zero indexes first, and
	// and then continues along. If the "longer" resources appear first,
	// then they'll group together first. We should probably put this into
