Oh now I got it, thanks @Kvaibhav01!
So we must place the quote in alphabetical order which eventually wil be as "random" placed.

Hey, I've just read the Adding a quote documentation page but it says "Try to add the quote in a random line", then in the checklist for valid PRs states: The quote(s) added are in alphabetical order and not x duplicates.. So at the end we have Random vs Alphabetical Order.
Seems to be contradictory or maybe I'm missing the point.
Hope I have explained myself.
Thanks.

Hey @RaithZx so that there are no merge conflicts (when multiple contributors are working to fix the same issue or contribute to the same feature), we suggest adding the quote randomly i.e. not specifically towards the end of the file.

Of course, the quote author names are aligned alphabetically so you have to follow that. So, in all, you need to put the quote according to the author's name (alphabetically) and not at the end.

I hope it's clear why "Try to add the quote in a random line" is added?
