 Conditional tag functions were initially ordered alphabetically in the
 source files. With some changes over the years, new functions were
 introduced and placed next to the closest related function. Now the order
 is mixed, and the placement of some individual functions like `is_month()`
 makes no sense in the overall structure.

 It would be helpful if the methods were ordered in a more logical manner,
 perhaps based on the
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#parameters
 Parameters] section of the DevHub reference, though that could also use
 some improvement.

 For the record, the current order is as follows:

 ||=In `wp-includes/query.php`=||=In `wp-includes/class-wp-query.php`=||
 ||`is_archive()`||`::is_archive()`||
 ||`is_post_type_archive()`||`::is_post_type_archive()`||
 ||`is_attachment()`||`::is_attachment()`||
 ||`is_author()`||`::is_author()`||
 ||`is_category()`||`::is_category()`||
 ||`is_tag()`||`::is_tag()`||
 ||`is_tax()`||`::is_tax()`||
 ||(moved to `deprecated.php`)||`::is_comments_popup()`||
 ||`is_date()`||`::is_date()`||
 ||`is_day()`||`::is_day()`||
 ||`is_feed()`||`::is_feed()`||
 ||`is_comment_feed()`||`::is_comment_feed()`||
 ||`is_front_page()`||`::is_front_page()`||
