Description
The Methods in the class-use page are not sorted deterministically and not sorted correctly either,
especially if there are multiple methods which might implement or extend a method with identical
signature, and the signature contains a class in that package.

The index files' items are not ordered correctly.

The fix is to create  comparators which will operate under both use-case criterion. 
Comments
There are more use cases, where information should be sorted correctly. Members within a class for their display on the doc page for a class. The list of packages and classes that can appear in the list in the frames on the left hand side.
