Do you mean order everything by time when displaying the buffers in
buffer-list and buffer-choose?  Or do you mean order everything by
time in all cases, so that paste_get_top refers to the most recent
buffer, even if it is !automatic?

If it's the former, that sounds fine.  If it's the latter, that would
mean running delete-buffer without args would delete the top buffer,
even if it is !automatic.  I think that's fine since the user is still
requesting the buffer be deleted (it isn't being aged away
automatically).

I'm not sure that renaming a buffer should change its order, though.
The order field seems akin to a file's mtime, and that doesn't change
during a rename.

I'm in favor of ordering it all by time.
