Cool.  Please, show an example to us of one which would be re-ordered in a
fashion that would change it's result, or performance.  I can't think of
one, but admittedly do not heavily packet filter and am probably just
being dense.  Ultimately, I'd prefer a fix that corrected the problem with
sorting [I'm assuming its not a matter of distaste but of function].
