Why would you want to reorder an enum? It seems to me the point of
them is to hold a small list of valid values. The order the list is
described in surely should be irrelevant?
One of the main charms of using an enum for some things is that it has
a natural ordering.

It's not the only reason to use an enum, but for me it'd be the most
compelling.
