This is a longstanding matter, and with respect to developers,
it has been addressed before, with a patch. This patch also introduced
new sorting mechanisms, and wasn't accepted for that reason.

If someone finds the time, she could try to extract the sorting
fix out of that patch and repair it for the release.
