No, I don't mean coming up with a new description for it. I just want it to
stack with the rest of the 2x2 plates in the part tree instead of ending up at
the very bottom of the list after the 10x10 plates. There's no logical reason
why it should be located there, so I'm thinking there must be some sort of
typographical anomoly that causes it to rank last in alpha-order by description.

I'm mildly curious why stuff like painted horses get dealt with in this manner,
but so many other painted parts (minifig torsos, tiles, etc.) don't. Even more
curious is why some minifig heads are only available in yellow while others can
be changed to any color.

You know, once a set has been released, the Consumer Affairs division get copies
of the instruction booklets complete with part lists showing the official LEGO
part numbers. Anything new that doesn't display a part number could be
identified with a simple phone call.

Yup, figured that one out from using Peeron long before I ever got started with
LDraw.
