You say that "Age of Empires II lists all civilizations alphabetically." This is true, but also note:


 * Age of Empires has the original civilizations first, then the expansion civilizations (neither list is alphabetical - the original list starts with Egyptians, Greeks, and Babylonians, the expansion begins with Romans, Carthaginians, and Palmyrans).
 * Age of Mythology lists them with the original civilizations first, then Atlanteans, then Chinese, in order of expansion (they place Greeks before Egyptians, so it was never alphabetical).
 * Age of Empires III has the second expansion civilizations first, then the original civilizations, then the first expansion civilizations. The order seems to be random - it's certainly not alphabetical (Spanish, British, French).

I'm not expressing an opinion yet, I'm just noting it for the purposes of discussion.
