Comment:
No, the current behaviour is deliberate. The reason is that chaining for
ordering would actually behave very counter-intuitively, since ordering is
left-to-right sensitive in terms of "most significant" to "least
significant". Things added after the initial ordering end up having almost
no effect on the result, because the leading ordering terms dominate.
I don't see it as really common enough that the major ordering is going to
be added in one place and minor tweaking of the far right, inisignificant
terms will happen later that it's worth complicating the UI here.
A docs patch would be fine (in another ticket so that we can review it in
isolation), but the current behaviour is quite intentional and it would be
counter-productive to change it.
