No, but if he complains about it, we should change it.

If "In rough English alphabetical order" is extended with "unless the person requests otherwise", then it should also be extended with "in which case the name is suffixed with '(phbr)' [or something similar] for 'put here by request'" so that a later, diligent person seeking to improve the ordering will not think that it out of standard order by accident or initial committer laziness and move it back. I believe we are having this discussion in part precisedly because Astrand after Z was not so tagged and was thought to have just been quickly appended.
