I think either the iteration order should be undefined (like a set or dict), or the comparison operations should work. I'd prefer the latter, because of the use case I outlined. Order (both iteration and comparison) is officially undefined for Enums but defined for IntEnums.
Huh??
From the PEP
The Enum class supports iteration. Iteration is defined as the
sorted order of the item values::
>>> class FiveColors(Enum):
... pink = 4
... cyan = 5
... green = 2
... blue = 3
... red = 1
>>> [v.name for v in FiveColors]
['red', 'green', 'blue', 'pink', 'cyan']--
