Given that people often use diff on files from pg_dump, unpredictable ordering can be a bad thing. On the other hand, that is not something you would probably want to do with the output of a *parallel* dump, so if it only affect that, it probably makes sense. It seems like a reasonable heuristic to avoid having all but some big table done, and having to wait for that while the other processors are sitting idle. -Kevin
