You have to be able to apply them in order. Unless I'm missing something, that means you need to be able to sort them. > But I'd be happy to leave that for 9.2. Yeah, if necessary. The only downside to that is, if we do indeed need them to be sortable, then we'd have to mandate a versioning format. And if there were existing extensions before 9.2, that might mess with them.
