I wonder if there is some sort of floating point resolution / rounding
problem with the sort? I see a lot of flickering myself. Also if I look
some particular direction and the clouds get sorted ok, then look away for
even a second, and then look back (by changing the view direction) the
clouds seem to have totally lost their previous correct sort and need to be
sorted again ... but that doesn't happen until the clouds come back in
view. I'm not sure what the sort criteria is, but it seems strange that the
sort order would get messed up in a brief second of not having a particular
set of clouds in view.

Curt.
