Thanks. It's not sorted just because I'm pedantic (although I am). It's also because it tends to cause fewer merge conflicts--if everyone always adds new files at the end then any two changes to the same file always conflict, but if they are scattered around the file they are less likely to conflict. (Andrew Morton pointed this out on linux-kernel long ago, although I'm sure he's not the only one ever to notice.) -- "I don't normally do acked-by's. I think it's my way of avoiding getting blamed when it all blows up."
