RE: Is "this-or-that logo" adequate in an ALT text?

Just thought of something that may have relevance to your issue. If ALL
the links started with "Link to ..." or with "[" then theoretically the
list would still be alphabetical. But some links will be from HTML text
and some will come from image ALT tags -- correct? So you might get:

Home
About us
Link to Custard (from an image ALT)
Link to Rhubarb (from an image ALT)
Zoology

Is this correct? If so then the technique of differentiating ALT text by
enclosing it in square brackets "[]" is also not viable because of it's
impact on the alphabetical sorting.

Thanks
