If you're currently operating (via Iedit or MC) at positions 10, 42 and
347, then I think it's going to be slightly more efficient if Iedit/MC
runs your command (e.g. self-insert-command, delete-char, you name it)
in the order

    run at 347
    run at 42
    run at 10
    
then if it does it in the order

    run at 10
    run at 42
    run at 347

Yes, of course, that's what after-change-functions is for.
