The "idle sorting" is there to avoid unnecessary sorting. It has a delay
of 0 so for most interactive use there will be no problems.
However I agree with your general point. If this is integrated in Emacs
I hope it will be quite easy to find some points where sorting most be
started if not done before. (This can perhaps be in addition to the
"idle sorting".)

I tried to describe the problem in the comment in majmodpri.el. Is that
comment not clear?
