I suppose, but aren't you just focusing on the argument being constant?
In the more general case I don't think there's anything unnatural about
this syntax.

That looks pretty weird to me anyway, with or without use of ORDER BY.
Nobody would think to write the delimiter first. Usually you put the
"most important" argument first, and no one would see the delimiter
as the most important one.
