I quite agree, Dennis, The way in which I do things should be my choice and
not be dictated by a programmer's or an alleged standards author's idea of
what is "correct".

Good for them. I have events (actually facts) without dates that I want
in the middle. And I have facts that I want in a particular order.

I want to make that decision. I don't want the software to make it for
me.

Custom sorting should be the default because that is the way it works
today. I would not want the software to start resorting my data "by
default".
