Edwin Kempin 521c124a81 Sort REST JSON entities alphabetically 
The JSON entities in the REST documentation were sorted alphabetically
to make it easier for readers to find a certain JSON entity in the
index, but over time some JSON entities got misplaced.

[[list-tasks]]
=== List Tasks
--
'GET /config/server/tasks/'
--
Lists the tasks from the background work queues that the Gerrit daemon
is currently performing, or will perform in the near future.
Gerrit contains an internal scheduler, similar to cron, that it uses to
queue and dispatch both short and long term tasks.
Tasks that are completed or canceled exit the queue very quickly once
they enter this state, but it can be possible to observe tasks in these
states.
End-users may see a task only if they can also see the project the task
is associated with. Tasks operating on other projects, or that do not
have a specific project, are hidden.
Members of a group that is granted the
link:access-control.html#capability_viewQueue[View Queue] capability or
the link:access-control.html#capability_administrateServer[Administrate
Server] capability can see all tasks.
As result a list of link:#task-info[TaskInfo] entities is returned.
The entries in the list are sorted by task state, remaining delay and
command.
