FWIW, I think of most of those planner lists as being unordered sets.
Depending on a particular ordering definitely adds fragility; so I'd
not want to introduce such a dependency without solid evidence of a
substantial speed improvement. The cases you mention don't seem very
likely to offer any noticeable gain at all --- at least, I don't recall
seeing any of those functions show up high in profiles.
