I don't think it will matter much if you make the dyadic change, but I don't see any reason (except efficiency) to sort. I can't think of a case where it would matter one way or the other.

Thank you to everyone who responded.  A further question:  do you prefer
that the cells be ordered by their occurrence in x, or do you prefer that
they be sorted (by x)?

I have a question concerning your use of *key*.  Do you find yourself
wishing that in x f/.y, the f would be invoked with a left argument which
is key value corresponding to the items in the right argument?  This does
not mean that the J definition or implementation will be changed, but to
find out that if I have an opportunity to define/implement key in another
context ;-) whether I should consider changing it.
