Do you mean, just sorting? (if so, in which order)
or grouping boards with the same platform like this series?
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/376860/

So, my answer is yes for ARM Kconfig.
The first phase of refactoring is on Patchwork now
(and I have a plan to do a little bit more).
But I have no idea about the other architecutures.
Honestly, I am expecting it to the custodian of each architecture.

BTW the entries in Kconfig are already sorted.
The order is the same as that in boards.cfg
which originates in tools/reformat.py.

We had sorted the entries with tools/reformat.py quite often, right?
(I thought it was really painful to resolve merge conflicts in boards.cfg,
but it looked like everybody had gotten along with it...)

Anyway, please let me know your intention clearer.
How do you want the entries in Kconfig look like?
