That's what the SAM spec says in its description of the @SQ header record. But given the wide variety of sort orders that can be represented in SAM format, this can't be right. In fact, the set of @SQ records functions as a lookup table, keyed by SN and referenced by RNAME in each alignment record. Is that what the spec is trying to say?
