Proper sorting can be an issue. If you don't care how your list sorts and you don't use mapping, yes you can do it any way you want or sort from right to left, etc. But why is it that the minority is so vocal and yes, grumpy, about this issue? There wasn't a thing wrong with Bernhard expressing his opinion. And there isn't anything wrong with your opinion, although different from Legacy's printed guide.
