then you should be sorting the output and not the db

along these lines, if you're going to be making commits to important repos, 
please use changelogs that are actually useful.  the changelog here:
	dblink.mergeme(): Merge files in alphabetic order.
is utterly and completely useless.

you need to document *why* you're changing things first and foremost, and only 
then can you delve into details as to why the implementation you're committing 
makes sense.
