Hi Simon! Thanks for the information, I'll submit a feature request! I dug through the code a bit and the one thing that concerned me a little was the possibility that sorting might have to account for dependencies between your app's dependencies. For example if app2's migration specified that it must run before auth's migration, does that mean app1's migration must appear before auth's or should that be sorted out by a different mechanism?
