It won't.  But on the other hand, pure reordering won't
generally create particularly painful merge issues.  (It's
merge tool confusion which does that.)

When I do such things by hand, it's sometimes useful to just
split patches into patchlets ... if ABC is reordered to BCA,
then a patchlet touching "A" can apply to BCA (with offsets)
and a patchlet touching "BC" can apply to BCA too (offsets),
either before or after the other patchlet.

Yeah, my bad.  Apologies.  Won't happen again.
