It makes a huge
difference when looking at the files with ediff. I agree that your new
ordering makes more sense, but it makes it much harder to look only
for the things that actually changed (most of the functions move have
not changed at all...).
The clean way to do this is to install two separate changes: one with
only substantial changes, not altering the order of the functions, and
the other changing ONLY the order of the functions and making no real
change in the code.
How about if you (or someone) reorders the existing functions to match
the new version? Check that in, and it will be easy to compare the
new version against the current one.
