Is there some benefit to the old ordering?

I assumed that the old approach just gave the user an arbitrary
ordering, in which case any change here is no big deal.  But, if there
is a benefit to the old ordering, sure, restore it.

How stable a sort would you want?  You could just fall back to the
objfile's address.  Or is that too awful?
