Alt form of sol?

Why this ordering?
The first 3 meaning are all obsolete or dialectal, why not have the main meanings first?


 * I agree. I'll change it. The style guide says this reordering is appropriate, at least for definitions that have the same etymology. - excarnateSojourner (talk|contrib) 04:59, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
