What makes you say that? Some arguments would be more helpful.

As a new person to the forum, usually our minds try to probe familiar things - alphabetical order comes natural in mind.
As old member of the forum, I probably have some knowledge on what is going on, so usually I will search among 'new things' or 'old things'.

Categorization is great thing ... but usually a word is not enough to 'describe' or categorize. Many times the same patch could be easily added to 2+ categories. So you have to decide - to put in all or just one. Thats why many modern search engines use 'tags' - describing the category with couple key words. Both approaches (tags or dublictaes) require quite planning and decisions :D

I personally believe alphabetical order would be messy. It would all be listed under a single category and it would make it hard to find what you are looking for. Ordering by date might be an option, but we don't really know the exact dates of all these patches. It would be easier to just categorize them.

I see nothing wrong in adding a patch to several categories. The links would take you to the same page anyway. Not sure what you mean by "many times" though. Usually the patch belongs in only one category.

In the wiki you can create tags (categories) like I did for the Bugs section. In here you can create several tags, one for patches in general and another for whatever category it fits (like as mentioned graphical, bug fix, translation, etc.)

IIRC, you add something like:
[[Category:TEXT]]

Where TEXT is whatever you want, Patches is one of them...

Hmm, that's a good idea. Should we do that instead then?

I think that is the way to go.
