I tried, but enforcing the ordering changed a fair bit of behavior and I
gave up. I think the way to think of it is: a RowMatrix has whatever
ordering you made it with, so you need to give it ordered rows if you're
going to use a method like the QR decomposition. That works. I don't think
the QR method should ever have been on this class though, for this reason.
