In my opinion current description is enough and cover everything what 
this patch is doing. I think it is clear from my description what this 
patch is doing and so it is documented.

But if it is not clear and something is missing, let me know or show 
what is wrong and how you change it... It is just my assumption that 
"Sort WMI event codes and update comments" is clear...
