One thing that confuses me a lot is that he says that they won't
change order. If he typed ”Tue” and then ”Wed”, they SHOULDN'T change
order, should they? ”T” comes before ”W” and Tuesday comes before
Wednesday, so why would it change order no matter if we do a date sort
or an alphabetical sort? Well, unless he want to sort them in reverse
order, of course…
