Short description of error
[Please fill out a short description of the error here]

On this page:

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/modeling/geometry_nodes/texture/brick.html

reference brick texture, and the field name 'Frequency' is duplicated from two completely different contexts. Very confusing for reader as well as users to distinguish which is which.

Please change the field text in code and in documentation.

I don't think this sort of tweak should be handled as a bug. It's definitely not ideal, but it's using the same order as the UI, so it makes sense on some level. Better to get involved with the documentation process to help improve things there.
