While moving -c/--stdout in a more visible place is straightforward and correctly done in this PR,

the situation is less clear for -q/--quiet.
I think it makes more sense to keep -q alongside -v, as they both impact the same thing (i.e. the amount of verbosity). Other -h help screens agree with this principle, with the exception of those which follow the alphabetical order strictly.

So we could also bring -v along with -q? But now it introduces another question: which options deserves to be tagged "important", and be promoted to first help screen (as opposed to the more advanced and complete -H). We can't just promote everything blindly, because if everything is important, nothing is.

In order to keep this PR short, I would separate the 2 issues, so that -c/--stdout can be validated and merged without delay nor uncertainty related to other less obvious topics.

Makes sense! I've updated pr and title to only promote -c. Let me know if there's anything else :)
