DOCS - "Get Object DDL Functions" table improvements
As discussed in another thread [1]/messages/by-id/8733yw55id.fsf@gmail.com, I propose some minor docs changes
for the new DDL functions table.
1. Arrange table 9.96 alphabetically.
2. Add helpful links back to the commands that these functions are generating.
~~~
PSA v1 patches to do the above

As discussed in another thread [1], I propose some minor docs changes
for the new DDL functions table.
For reference, this is the table:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/19/functions-info.html#FUNCTIONS-GET-OBJECT-DDL
1. Arrange table 9.96 alphabetically.
I'm working on a patch that touches this table and noticed the arbitrary order,
so +1 for reordering.
2. Add helpful links back to the commands that these functions are generating.
Makes sense to me; on the same page I see we don't always back-link items
including SQL commands, but IMO links are one of the features of this
new-fangled
hypertext thing.
It would certainly worth getting the changes in, also as a template for future
patches which touch the table. It might be worth combining the two patches.
There doesn't seem to be a commitfest entry.
