Being predictable? If I see a sorted list of packages I will look for oxygen-
icons before plasma-nm, not maybe somewhere at the bottom of the list.

Also, maxy uses wrap-and-sort at debian so using it too would make merging 
easier.
I'm seriously tired of merging packages where I have to review huge install 
file diffs because we simply appended new files and debian sorted the files 
alphabetically which makes actual file moves really hard to spot.
(Which I guess is the reason I'm the only one that actually checks for that?)
