I welcome your patches. Seriously, if the sort order was low-hanging
fruit, I of course would have gone for it. But it isn't. It's
actually a pretty difficult problem to solve, and frankly, the
streaminess was way more important (in my opinion) than the sorted
output. The output is still defined to maintain depth-first ordering,
which is a big help to the eyes and to scripts. But that's the best I
could do.
