I do not consider stuff within a version do be ordered by a given criterion,
except maybe readability, so during development I tend to add stuff to the
top, because it's easier to reach. Sometimes I add it in the middle because it
seems easier to read. 

So, I'm not concerned about the order that people add to those sets.
