Wishful thinking. Sorting the entries without sorting the
corresponding commits is going to make an even greater mess.
The rule is simple. You should put every entry at the front of the
change log file, with the current UTC date.
The only reason to insert an entry other than at the front of
ChangeLog is if you checked in the change previously and you forgot to
add the change log entry at the same time.
