There has never been a need for such an ordering except for what the specs require. Introducing a specific order will make most applications non-compliant. Further, and more important, it does not help because an application can't rely on this and needs to do sort anyway. ASN.1 DER rules for a SET require a specific order but OpenPGP fortuntalely avoid ASN.1 encodings. > Adoption of such a canonical ordering would reduce the amount of > computation for synchronizing keyservers, once they all adopted the same Keyservers can of course do that if that better fits their processing model.
